Let Freedom Ring

Sean Hannity's first book offers a wide-ranging view of the political, social and cultural world as he sees it. By then he had become one of the most talked-about figures in television and talk radio. His pointed interviews and commentary on the Fox News Channel program Hannity & Colmes made him one of the network's best-known personalities, and his climb to the top of talk radio with ABC Radio's The Sean Hannity Show earned him a large, loyal conservative audience. That standing placed him alongside Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly among the country's most influential commentators.

Drawing on episodes from his own life and on the examples of political leaders such as Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, Hannity describes the experiences that shaped his outlook. The book centers on five issues facing America today: terrorism and national security, the economy, bias in the liberal media, education, and faith, character and family.

Hannity writes against the backdrop of a nation adjusting to life after the September 11 attacks, both overseas and at home. His central argument is that the struggle is above all a contest of ideas, one that must be won because the future of civilization depends on it.
