Review
"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

Best interview for my money is that given by Victor Hanson, who manages to stay on topic though he paints with a broad brush.. In Hanson's work the problem is never a mile wide and two inches deep - as in analyses by Fareed Zakaria, or for that matter Zbig Brzezinski..
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. Dalyrimple's comments pertaining to observing waiting room behavior unbeknownst to the clientel were both unethical and foolish. When we used (in America) one-way glass for evaluating client and therapist activity, we were required by facility licensing standards and ethical codes to notify all persons if and when such observations were employed / ongoing. Other than that, the different processes inherent in waiting-room conversations between clients and those which will attend disclosure discussions with professionals no doubt should be expected and should also be weighted in conclusions drawn regarding client presentation, motive and behavior. I'll say again, though, that I did not read this gentleman's book (that serving as the motivation and guide for the interview) that provided the necessary more detailed source information. Hence, my criticism might require adjustment should that occur.
I did agree with Dalyrimple's view that opiate addiction is over-dramatized by other aspects of the culture, for example, as found in literature and media to include movies. Having made these criticisms, I am glad that Dr. Dalyrimple has done the work that he has for this population and that he expresses his views accordingly.
The power of Dr. Glazov's interviews results from his transparency as a very caring person and dedicated finder of the truth, all combined with a willingness to speak it. He is conscientious in recognizing that the interviewee may have different views from his on, albeit he is not bashful about searching any facts or rationales underpinning the differences. Dr. Glazov always ensures that the show remains the interviewee's views and not his own. But I am bias toward Dr. Glazov's work; my prejudices stem from having followed these discussions for years and being a Glazov and Frontpage fan.
Jesse W. Collins II
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.
