Summary: Do some research
Review: Ms. Coulter has written a very engaging polemic here. Unfortunately it is rarely actaully based on fact. This is an excellent example of "if you scream it loud enough people will listen" It is a shame that the conservatives in our nation have taken such an attack stance. I am a liberal and a proud American, the two are not mutually exclusive. This is a slanted, partisan, poorly written work based on hatred and a cheap attempt to grab at a market. Do not believe a word of it.

Summary: A Good Balance for Historical Truth Finding
Review: Lefties will attack this book because it seeks to deprive them of their hegemony over the media, historical revisionism, and the effectiveness of their only real device in debate: name calling. It seeks to deprive them of these things by exposing certain truths about them. Yes, occasionally, Coulter reaches for a bit of sensationalism in her expose', but given the facts she finally adduces (and they do appear to be facts), one finds it hard to blame her breathless incredulity, even her satirical anger at times. Media lefties always go on about a pol's "passion." But only when that person agrees with them. Coulter here is passionate, she's smart, a Cornell grad who worked her way up through the ranks in the tough arena of New York City journalism (especially as she wasn't a lock-step liberal), and has the tools (logic, deduction, syllogistic inference, fact-versus-emotion coolheadedness to make Southwestern community college dropout Michael Moore seem like a pimply faced adolescent, except for the fact that most adolescents would tend to be more objective and have more respect for truth. Coulter's first book, "Slander," was unknown to me at the time I read "Treason." Both books, I've since found, are compelling and often hillarious. The nation needs Coulter. The liberals control all the other media and have gotten lazy and spoiled -- to the point they simply engage in personal attacks. We deserve more than this. Free speech is about exposing 'ideas' to disciplined intellectual scrutiny, not about name calling.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This Book is absolutely great. It's doing a great job of holding up the corner of my wobbly coffee table and the pages make great rolling papers.

Summary: Hidden Truths Made Plain
Review: It was a very easy reading book with some excellent humor. It was nice to find out what ready happened with Senator J. McCarthy era. I always felt that the truth would be stranger than the last forty years of liberal media fiction about it, and I was right. It is a must read for any person wanting to know the truth.

Summary: Undeniable Facts and Documented Truths? Are you kidding?
Review: This book is so filled with prevarications that it boggles the mind. People who are loving this book have obviously only taken it at face value. Which is human nature. We believe what we want to believe. Stop believing, folks. There is nothing enriching or edifying about the contents of this book. Ann Coulter is someone in need of better research. What she has done is to take the most scant "facts" and twist them to her own purpose. We are a country of sheep and evidently Ann Coulter is the shephard for the conservative right. BAAAAAAAAAA! Hum Bug! Oh and Amazon.com, please give us all the ability to assign no stars. Thank you!

Summary: Worthless.
Review: This would be a good book, if the world were as black and white as Coulter would like you to believe. She continously groups all Americans under two umbrellas, liberal and conservative. Congratulations Anne, you are unoriginal and mediocre. While I was a bit dismayed that she took the easy way out in the beginning, I was hoping that she would have a strong argument. Nope. She argues all right, but her argument is largely circular, and it has absolutely no facts to back it up. In the first few pages she claims a US senator lauded Bin Laden for his work on child daycare centers. Who? When? What was the context? It did not get any better. If you want to read the rants of a delusional ugly blonde, then by all means, waste your money. Otherwise, I suggest something else...anything else for that matter.

Summary: The fight against revisionist history
Review: While it is typically more usefull to read 1st hand accounts of history, Ann Coulter and her team of researchers, with their more than 800 references to primary source documents (as opposed to secondary sources used frequently by revisionists) put forth a case that is nearly impossible to argue with. She examines Sen. Joe McCarthy in a way that liberal revisionist historians would hate, with actually evidence. If you have heard and believe that McCarthy was part of HUAC, and you do not know why that is impossible, then you need to read this book. Some may not like the often tough criticism of the left, but only the far left will try to disagree with the conclusions.
In the end, Coulter's book is entertaining and would make a valuable supplement to high school and college history texts covering the McCarthy era. Though its just shy of 300 pages, its almost impossible to put it down; I finished it in one night. Its worth your time.

Summary: The truth hurts.
Review: Ann knows her facts, as she shows so well in her book.
Her biting style is sure to alienate liberals, and that seems to be her wish.
Those on the left can't dispute her facts, so they are reduced to personal "ad hominem" (or is it "ad feminam") attacks.

Summary: I would give it 1,000,000 stars if I could figure out how to
Review: Despite the claim by the earlier reviewer below about that thing about the Volvo, the truth is, is this is a very important, patriotic and godly book that exposes the leftist media, leftist Hollywood, leftist "educators," leftist politicians, leftist columnists, leftist feminazis, leftist one-worlders, leftist fellow travelers, leftist letter-writers, leftist rumormongers, leftist revisionists, leftist druggies, leftist dividers-not-uniters, leftist brie-eating emasculated so-called "gentlemen" who scorn bravery and mock hard work. This book honors and exalts our business leaders, spies, soldiers and firemen, many of whom, like our Blessed Founding Father, made the Ultimate Sacrifice and paid the Ultimate Price. By the ultimate, I mean death, not taxes, though taxes are bad and ungodly also. Read your Scripture and you will see Ann Coulter is right!!! Wake up, America!!!
