Accomplice to Evil (Hardcover)

In Accomplice to Evil, Ledeen notes that in the last century, Americans have repeatedly waited until the last possible moment to defend ourselves against tyrannies of both the right and left, from Hitler to Stalin. Now we face Iran - a divided country that is intent on destroying America and has been killing Americans for decades.

Why has the American government not responded forcefully? Ledeen explores the errors we have made in the past with totalitarian regimes and how we have refused to acknowledge the implications of a rising evil. Among the points discussed in Accomplice to Evil:

• The rise of messianic mass movements is not new, and Iran has much in common with the bloody tyrannical regimes of the 20th century
• It is human nature to want to believe the best of people - which can cause us to turn a blind eye to atrocities committed by other governments
• Treating evil enemies who call for our annihilation as normal politicians is unrealistic?negotiations will not change their quest to eliminate America
• One barrier to acknowledging the Iranian threat to the US is that by acknowledging it, we may be forced to confront it head-on - which could force us to accept that we are at war
• How the nature of the evil we see today is not so different, at its core, from other evils America has faced?we need to see it for what it is in order to defeat it
  
  Against this background, Ledeen updated Accomplice to Evil to reflect on how this summer's elections have affected Iran and what this means for America. Played out against the background of history, Ledeen's expertise on Western foreign policy and its effect on Iran?s elections this summer is second to none.
