Rating:  Summary: More important than Slander Review: Slander was a fun read because Ann's humour is biting and sardonic. This book is much more. Having been raised as a pink diaper baby (Mom a devotee of Franklin Roosevelt and thinks Alger Hiss innocent to this day) I know exactly why Ann has written this book and commend it to anyone who has any belief that there was never any communist threat. I recommend it because of the wealth of detail and information that she provides. The issue is of importance because it is crucial to the issue of which party should be trusted with out national defense.
Rating:  Summary: Even Better Than "Slander" Review: What little restraint Ann Coulter demonstrated in her previous book (and it was damn little!) evaporates in "Treason". And that's how it should be -- the bare-knuckle approach to the evils perpetrated by the Left is the only one worth employing. Indeed, I think what I enjoyed most about this excellent book is that Miss Coulter not only names names, but also calls names. The Left is populated by a bunch of gasbags and sissies, and Miss Coulter says so in unquestionably unambiguous terms. Brava!
Rating:  Summary: Coulter strikes again Review: Ann Coulter does it again.With both brilliance and wit she exposes the left and all it's duplicity.Having lived through the periods in question I can say unequivocally that Ms Coulter has both the facts and the truth on her side. This book is a must read for anyone who wishes to know what happened during the Cold war and why. Also for younger readers I would recommend the Black Book of Communism , and The Long March (by Roger Kimball).
Rating:  Summary: Let's go Ann! Review: This book, in all its might and glory, has further shown that the American right is becoming more and more out of touch with reality. Defending Joseph McCarthy? Lord.Hey Ann, how many Communists are in the State Department again?
Rating:  Summary: The woman just doesn't know how to tell the truth Review: Anne Coulter really needs to stop writing books and go back to Kindergarten where they teach you it is wrong to lie. Coulter likes to deify prominent republicans while at the same time demonizing all liberals even down to relatively unimportant liberals such as George Stephanopolis (sic?). Unfortunately, she ignores the facts by simply not writing them. She practically fellates Ronald Reagan for his aggressive stand against Mikhail Gorbachev but fails to mention that the Reagan administration had the most officials conficted of felonies in US history. Of course, she won't let small facts get in the way of her argument. On the other hand she ignores the contributions by liberal democratic Presidens such as Roosevelt and Kennedy who were just as instrumental in the Cold War as Reagan or Nixon and probably more so. She gives very little credit where credit is due, ignores facts in order to push her conservative agenda and marginalize a progressive movement for the people of this country.
Rating:  Summary: Another Ann Coulter Triumph! Review: I liked this book even more than "Slander: Liberal Lies About The American Right" (which is fantastic, by the way), since it is more evidence of the scholarly, intelligent person Ann Coulter is. A gifter writer and wit, she engages the reader in exposing liberal phoniness with her extensive research. You must read this book, especially since it shows the liberal myth of "McCarthyism" for what it was: as a complete batch of nonsense. Thank you, Ann, for a great, powerful, excellent work!
Rating:  Summary: A good read regardless of your politics Review: I've been a lifetime member of the Green party, and nearly all of my views are diametrically opposed to Ms. Coulter's. However, I picked up this book at my local library and it soon became a permanent fixture in my library. Ms. Coulter shows a rare passion for backing up everything she says with well-documented research, and she presents her political opinions very articulately. If nothing else, her voice is a breath of fresh air in the otherwise stale paradigm of political debate. If you're sick of hearing the same arguments from the same talking heads on every talk show, pick up this book.
Rating:  Summary: This is a must read for every American! Review: I purchased this book last night, and have already finished. It was simply captivating! Ignore the negative reviews of this book, written by liberals who obviously have not taken the time to read the book, or are so brain washed that they believe they can DISPUTE the facts that were revealed by the Vernona Project. The evidence is right in front of them, and it is time that every American know the truth. McCarthy was a patriot! The Vernon Project confirms this. Communists did indeed infiltrate (ie. infest) the highest levels of our govt, thanks to the Democratic Party! This book was not written on some grassy nolle, as liberals would like you to think. It is based on hard, indisputable, evidence, recently confirmed by the Vernona Project. You owe it to yourself to learn what the Vernona Project revealed about liberals and the democratic party. While you read this book, keep in mind the first sentence from chapter six, "History is an endless process of liberal brain washing...they write the history books." Well, do yourself a favor, and read this history book. It will probably be the only accurate version you ever read. It's the piece of the puzzle that was missing from your history classes as kid. It's the version the liberals don't want you to hear. Discover the truth, and then pass it on to a friend!
Rating:  Summary: Good book, Entertaining Review: I don't usually read a lot of books with politicial leanings. For the most part, they're written by very partisan people with no other objective except to say, "We're right, you're wrong", be the author Left or Right. Coulter, I've found, is an idealogue, but oh my is she entertaining! I have to say, "Treason", which I got as a gift (I guess someone thought I wasn't "Right" enough, heh heh), is quite an educational read. The term "McCarthyism" has been bandied about so much that it deserves a factual look back. I'm not sure how much of Coulter's works are true, and what is insinuations, but it's a bloody good time. Mind you, I'm pretty sure I'm still not "Right" enough after having read it, but I enjoy being entertained. Also, I can't help but notice that the vast majority of people who derides Coulter's book seems to have NOTHING to write about the book itself. My guess is that they're the "Left" folks who finds anyone on the "Right" to be cousins of the Devil. I.E. "They're wrong, we're right." I would wager that if I took a look at other partisan books by those on the Left I would find similar uneducated comments meant to deride the book and lower the grade, and not because the reviewer has actually read the book. Really, if you think about it, this is what's wrong with our political system. Democrats and Republicans are so hardcore, so diehard about their different positions, that anyone who disagrees is not only wrong, but EEEE-VIL. Read the reviews again, and you can tell who didn't read the book but posted a "review" only to lower the book's grade, and who actually read it. It's so obvious. Then again, the Left and the Right are so obvious themselves, so there you go.
Rating:  Summary: Hiss was innocent? Review: Those writing the poor reviews here, filled with name calling, fairly well prove Ann Coulter's point about liberal slander. No facts, just slander. The facts uncovered in the Venona Papers, released in 1995, paint an ugly picture of the response to Soviet spying by the Left in the US during and after WWII. But, these are the people that still believe Alger Hiss was an upstanding civil servant. This book has well researched information that you are not going to find elsewhere. You will be astounded!
