Editorial Reviews

Review

"Jamie Glazov has produced the most important book in America. This compilation of interviews describes the dangers of the Obama administration and the President himself with facts that will enlighten the American people for the coming elections. Do we have a Manchurian candidate in the White House now trained by Frank Davis and Saul Alinsky? Read it and find out!" --Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney USAF (Ret.)

"With apologies to President Kennedy, Showdown With Evil may represent the highest concentration of intellectual rigor in one place, since any single essay fo William Buckley" - Robert C. McFarlane, National Security Advisor to President Reagan, Chairman and CEO of McFarlane Associates Inc. ----from the back cover, Showdown With Evil

The authors/interviewees collected between the book s covers constitute a veritable Who s Who of significant voices: Norman Podhoretz, Christopher Hitchens, William F. Buckley Jr., Natan Sharansky, Victor Davis Hanson, Phyllis Chesler, Andrew McCarthy, Theodore Dalrymple, Kenneth Levin, Robert Spencer, and Andrew Klavan, to mention only a few...Glazov is also an exceptional interviewer, knowing when to ask a leading question (Buckley calls him a very pleasant extortionist ) and when to introduce an explanatory comment or append a modest rebuttal. --David Solway, Pajamas Media

"Jamie Glazov knows how to gather the sharper minds, and he knows how to probe them. He has one of them himself: a sharp mind. This collection of interviews and commentary is a guide to our perilous times." --Jay Nordlinger, Senior Editor, National Review -- --from the back cover, Showdown With Evil

About the Author

Jamie Glazov holds a Ph.D. in history with specialties in U.S., Russian, and Canadian foreign policy. He is the editor of Frontpagemag.com and the author of the critically acclaimed and best selling, United in Hate: The Left's Romance With Tyranny and Terror. He is also the author of Canadian Policy Toward Khrushchev’s Soviet Union and the co-editor (with David Horowitz) of The Hate America Left. He edited and wrote the introduction to David Horowitz’s Left Illusions. Glazov's latest book, High Noon for America: The Coming Showdown, was released in Fall 2012. This important book was most timely, coming out just ahead of the American presidential election. The book provides lively and thought provoking discussions on a variety of contemporary topics and sheds light on fundamental issues that critically affect the future of America and indeed the world.

Format: Paperback
This collection of 29 interviews conducted over the course of the last several years by Jamie Glazov is relentlessly fascinating and engaging. As former Asst. Secretary of Defense Richard Perle states in the foreword, this is "an illuminating and important commentary on the largest issues facing America and the West," particularly the "Islamist agenda that has replaced communism as the principal threat to western values and civilization."

In readable and easily digestible chapters ranging from 3 to 18 pages each, Glazov - the editor of David Horowitz's Front Page website - probes the impressive minds of some courageous conservative intellects like Victor Davis Hanson, Phyllis Chesler, Brigitte Gabriel, Andy C. McCarthy, Natan Sharansky, Christopher Hitchens, Theodore Dalrymple, Horowitz himself, even William F. Buckley, Jr., in chapters grouped into the following topics:

1) Obama's Destructive Path
2) Unholy Alliance
3) Islam: The Religion of Peace?
4) The Terror War
5) The Evil Empire
6) Leaving the Faith
7) The Titans
8) Looking to the Future of Freedom

Each section is capably introduced by David Swindle, the smart young editor of Horowitz's NewsReal Blog. Swindle conducts the concluding, 30th interview of Glazov himself, who is no less interesting and passionate an interview subject than the others.

If you are at all concerned about such issues as national security, Obama's impact on the future of America, the threat of fundamentalist Islam and the complicity of the Left, and the conflict between freedom and tyranny, then this collection is a must-have.

Format: Paperback
A MUST FOR ANYONE HEADED FOR COLLEGE. We're by now familiar with the attitudes of blue state elites, especially academics, about the rest of us. As seen by lefty historian Thomas Frank, middle Americans are rubes who have been bamboozled by conservatives through sham issues like abortion and gay marriage to vote against their true class interests, a view echoed in candidate Obama's famous description of small-town Midwesterners as frustrated dummies who "get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them." Stupid, hateful, violent, righteous racists.

THIS BOOK PRESENTS A BROAD AND POWERFUL ANTIDOTE TO SUCH ELITIST INTELLECTUAL POISON. It contains a full array of the topics that defined the last decade and will dominate the coming era, discussed in 29 probing interviews over the last eight years by FrontPage editor Dr. Jamie Glazov, including: the disastrous policies of the Obama administration; the strange alliance between the left and Islamists; the nature of radical Islam, in its own terms; the war on terror in historical context; lessons from yesterday's enemy, the USSR; the evolution of former leftists; and speculations on the future.

The interviews are with some of our most important intellectuals, mostly but not all or uniformly, conservative, including Ralph Peters, Victor Davis Hanson, Robert Spencer, Elliott Abrams, Dick Morris, David Horowitz, Steve Emerson, Rep. Howard Berman, Phyllis Chesler, Norman Podhoretz, Natan Sharansky, Rich Lowry, William F. Buckley Jr., Christopher Hitchens, Ann Coulter, Richard Pipes, and more.

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book puts into a few pages some of the very important interviews conducted by the author over the previous decade. The book serves as a compendium of summaries of primarily conservative thought regarding national security issues and the various prejudices influencing the attendant debates. The book is easy and fast reading with quick look-up of the various interviewee's and Dr. Glazov's views.

Although most of the book is serious business, Ann Coulter's response to Sadam Hussein's capture was the funniest comment I've read in some time. But so also was Natan Sharansky's discussion of his use of humor: telling Soviet jokes during KGB interrogations. Other interviewee's offered like fun, making for enjoyable reading.

I did not, however, think Theodore Dalyrimple's work and conclusions regarding the address of opiate addiction were of notable value to Dr. Glazov's book. I haven't read Dalyrimple's work which supports the interview and I likely will not. But given the information provided in Jamie's interview, it is clear that Dalyrimple's conclusions were taken from the application of Intrapsychic (as opposed to gleaning all assessment information from the identified patient's or offender's system as a whole) based evaluation methods and that the population in which he was working, thus learning - reaching his conclusions therefrom, was (apparently) skewed to prison inmates. Evaluating people for drug use within that domain is tricky business; and in my view and experience - which is thirty-five years in the field - will without considerable care, particularly if systemic evaluation tools are not employed, dramatically affect the evaluator's perspective.

I thought Dr.
