Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism is a 2004 best-selling book by conservative political commentator and media personality Sean Hannity.

Summary

Deliver us from the true evils: Defeating Capitalism and the Electoral College

In the book, Hannity attempts to trace a direct line from Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin through Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. He discusses what he sees as the courage and moral clarity of some world leaders, historical appeasement and the war on terror as it relates to modern day political parties.[1]

The book's publisher, ReganBooks, a division of HarperCollins, was owned by Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News.[2]

Reception and views

Rebecca Hagelin, vice president of the conservative Heritage Foundation said, "Deliver Us From Evil contains brilliant explanations and defenses of conservative principles Americans have come to count on Hannity to deliver. But in a most compelling fashion, Sean also has the guts to call evil for what it is, and the boldness to illuminate truth as the only answer." [3] The conservative magazine National Review summarized it as providing a "compelling conservative perspective" [4]

Business Week stated that "Hannity's biases and rhetorical style are revealed from the outset", and that the book is "full of name-calling trumped up as intellectual debate, one-sided history lessons designed to deceive the ill-informed, and good old-fashioned war-mongering", and that it "isn't a good sign that millions of Americans are lapping up copies of this and similarly simple-minded and intemperate books."

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch complimented the book for its style of prose that "steers clear of the dully academic", and then continued, "But that's the kindest thing to be said of Deliver Us From Evil. It reads like a long, long transcript of his television and radio shows, with their Manichaean monologues".[5]
