The hard-hitting and provocative first book from the fastest-rising conservative voice in the country Sean Hannity is the hottest phenomenon in TV and talk radio today. His gutsy, take-no-prisoners interviews and commentary on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes has made him one of the network's most popular personalities. And his ascendance to the top of the talk radio world with ABC Radio's The Sean Hannity Show has won him a huge and devoted conservative following, and ensured his place alongside Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly as one of the country's most influential commentators. Now, in Let Freedom Ring, Sean Hannity offers a survey of the world-political, social, and cultural-as he sees it. Drawing on stories from his own life, and on the inspiration of political figures like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, he recounts the experiences that have shaped his perspective on the dramatic issues that face America today: . Terrorism and National Security . The Economy . Liberal Media Bias . Education . Faith, Character, and the Family As America meets the challenges of the post-9/11 world-abroad and at home-Sean Hannity's position is clear: “We are engaged in a war of ideas. And we must win. Civilization itself is at stake.”

Whistleblowing historian Richard Shenkman skewers the nonsense we were all taught about the world's revolutions, religions, heroes, and inventors in a whirlwind tour of history.Queen Victoria may have usually worn black, but she loved to drink and party. The English were conned during World War II. Winston Churchill's famous ?finest hour? radio broadcast was not delivered by Winston Churchill but by Norman Shelley, an actor hired to be Churchill's stand-in.Marie Antoinette did not say, ?Let them eat cake,? Churchill didn't coin the phrase ?the Iron Curtain,? and Caesar never said, ?Et tu, Brute?? Scandal in the English monarchy is nothing new: Fifteen kings fathered children out of wedlock. One queen helped depose her husband so her lover could take his place. Three English kings were gay.Eclectic, eccentric, edifying, and fun, Richard Shenkman's eye-opening revelations prove that much of history is indeed ?but a fable agreed upon.?

In the bleak wasteland of the Nevada desert, not far from the sparkling, twenty-four-hour neon of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, the body of a once-beautiful showgirl is discovered, horribly mauled and mutilated. It is a horrendous crime, shocking in its brutality, excessive even for a city celebrated for its excess.Seasoned police veteran and Vegas native Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe has seen his fair share of depravity in this mecca of glitz and vice. But there is something about this unfortunate young woman's death?and a similar murder that is to follow soon after?that harkens back to an unsolved slaying and so-called suicide a quarter century ago. The grim similarities?along with some frightening new possibilities?are leading Poe into a night world of dark shadows best left unilluminated and pulling the inquisitive policeman toward secrets from a strange and sordid past that could destroy those closest to him, and drag him over the edge.
