"Objectivism and the Corruption of Rationality" is one of the few serious attempts at criticizing Objectivism: https://www.amazon.com/Objectivism-Corruption-Rationality-Critique-Epistemology/dp/0595267335
I searched for 'books refuting objectivism' and there seemed to be several articles / webpages, but also this for sale at Amazon.
"they" as in the quotes, or the philosophers? Because I've seen a lot of attempts to refute Rand, and they've all been based upon severe lack of knowledge (usually about Rand's opinions). The only exception to this statement (that I am aware of) is this.
If there's some book/critique you're thinking of, I'd love a link out of personal interest.
A pretty good book, available at Amazon. Before Ryan disappeared from the web he made it freely available, and that edition (via the Way Back Machine) is what I've linked to. I don't believe there are any differences between this and the published version.
Note that he's a little -- um -- weird; he attacks Rand from the position of an objective idealist, a style of philosophy that I don't believe curries much more favor with modern philosophers than objectivism itself. It's a great book mostly for pointing out the gaping holes in her arguments (and showing where she simply did not understand the arguments of those she attacked).
