Summary: Coultier's "facts" are not really facts
Review: One should not assume that something is a fact simply because the author presents a footnote. Coultier repeatedly misattributes quotes and, in some cases says things in her book that are absolute bald-faced lies. Here are just two examples of misrepresentations and utter falsehoods in Coultier's writing: 1) She says that the New York Times "barely mentioned the release" of the Venona Project," because it would have detracted from stories of victims of McCarthyism. This is an outright lie. The Times ran a 1,000 word story on the declassification when it happened.. a far cry from "barely mentioning" it. 2)Coultier states that Ramsey Clark, who had been Attorney General under Lyndon Johnson, said that Iran should be able to "determine its own fate." This was actually a reporter's paraphrase summarizing what Clark had said the Ayatolla's views are. Clark himself had never presented this as HIS view, or ever even used those words, and it is obvious to anyone who reads the actual article (including Coultier, I'm sure, who has obviously misquoted him for the purpose of furthering the validity of her own views upon the reader) that this was not presented as his view. Coultier consistently distorts facts to the point of buidling up a straw man and openly deceiving the reader. She has no qualms about bending facts like rubber bands, or even manufacturing her own quotes based on very loose hearsay (which is obvious when a search of the references she cites brings up something very different) in order to impress her opinion upon the reader. If you decide to read this book, I strongly recommend that you be prepared to check the sources referred to by Coultier, rather than assuming the accuracy of ANYTHING she quotes in the book.

Summary: Great History Lesson
Review: I found this book to be as informative as it was entertaining. The most significant section of the book is her defense of Senator McCarthy. This is a man who has been vilified by history book authors for too many years. Ms. Coulter demonstrates that he was a patriot who was steadfast in the defense of the USA in the face of actual Soviet agents operating in the federal government. The chapter on the Chambers-Hiss matter was also a great history lesson on a subject that is now often forgotten. I also would recommend Chambers' book "Witness" as a fascinating personal account of this important chapter in American history.

Summary: Treason
Review: Queen Ann has done it again! With her God given gifts for writing, Coulter has produced another blockbuster. TREASON is a hard right punch to the liberal's midsection. Over and over again, she presents facts (documented in her references) which show that the left has intentionally censored important historical information from the American people. In doing so she exposes the left's arguments for the shams that they have always been. When you combine that with the fact that she is one of the most entertaining current affairs writers of our time, you can understand why the liberals have come to fear and despise her. (A fact which Coulter takes great pride in.) Coulter readers number in the hundreds of thousands. But unfortunately for the left they are the NEW movers and shakers of our society. TREASON is the third in Coulter's "take no liberal prisoners" trilogy. If you love America then you should delight in this read. But if you don't and if you feel guilty and ashamed about America's role in the world, then it would be best if you invested your time and monies on one of the works by America's passe leftists.

Summary: Informative and detailed Information about the Left
Review: Ann Coulter, backs up all of her statements about the Liberal Left, with evidence. All the reviews of her books that I have read by the Liberal Left, do not come out and say, Ann Coutler said this...and it is not true because of this reason.... All of their reviews are fluff, with no proof.
It is an easy read. Very informative. I recommend it highly.

Summary: You Conservative Hypocrites
Review: Boy, you right wingers really are nuts, aren't you? How dare you people talk about a liberal controlled media when news networks like CNN and MSNBC have had their noses so far up the Bush administration's rear end since 9/11 that I'm surprised they have room to breathe. And to talk about how liberals re-write history? Cripes, like conservatives didn't do that with regard to things like the Iran-Contra affair and the S&L scandals. Also, don't forget how George W. is removing entire sections from an EPA report because it will expose the evils our SUV nation is having upon the environment. Give me a break you turkeys. I think the Democrats are almost as evil as the Republicans, something I'm willing to admit as a liberal minded person, but you conservatives really can do no wrong can you? Your poop never stinks does it? Do us all a favor and get the hell out of this great country.

Summary: Perfect except for one thing
Review: I loved this book. It finally brought the true story of Joe McCarthy into light. I, myself, had never heard of the Venona project, and, even as a conservative, had thought McCarthy was a paranoid fanatic. I now see that, many more times than not, he was right. I do have one problem, though. She says that all liberals are traitors. While I agree that (and would bet money on) the fact that most traitors in this country are from the left, and think that most of the rest are un-American in their thoughts, I do not think that they are all traitorous fiends. This cost her a fifth star. That point aside, it is a great book. And for those uninformed liberals who immediately go on the defensive at the mention of the name "Ann Coulter": Did it ever occur to you that someone on the right (politically speaking) might actually be in the right (as in being correct)? ...

Summary: Entertaining, but not exactly "history"
Review: As the description of the book points out, Ann Coulter is a pundit, not a historian. Thus just as you need to take any book by Michael Moore or James Carville with a heaping pile of salt, so too should you be suspicious of books by Ms. Coulter, especially those that appear to be full of facts backed up by research. If you do a bit of research of your own, you'll generally find that Ms. Coulter's "data" is significantly one-sided. In this case, Ms. Coulter began with a controversial title and then wrote a book to match that title. Conservatives, especially those on the far right, will laud this book as "proving" everything they've ever said about "liberals." Liberals will denounce this book as trash. Moderates will agree with a few things, but will probably find the bulk of the book to be amusing in its partisan nature. Unfortunately, I have to give the book two stars simply because the "facts" it presents aren't adequately researched, and because Ms. Coulter fails to make a compelling case to those of us in the middle of the political spectrum. The book comes off as being little more than political spin. It's an entertaining read if you can detach yourself from the author's bias, but, unfortunately, it's difficult to do so.

Summary: Once again, Ann, you got 'em this time
Review: And this reviewer: "eviewer: A reader from from Boston
"No brainer! She's Nuts!, July 5, 2003
Reviewer: A reader from FL USA
A human being can be this simple minded..
A piece of garbage." Please direct your attention to the post created on July 5th by this very informed and articulate reader. These are the kinds of people who give this book one star. I think that reviewer (and others just like him/her) should read very carefully what they are about to post before embaressing themselves and their entire agenda. Having said that, I give it 4 stars. I take one star away for Ann not trying to understand the other side in her writing. ' What are you talking about? The whole point of Ann's writing this is she understands who these people are perfectly. Sometimes I feel like Ann lived with me in Russia the whole time. How else would she knows this? Both she and Rush - simply brilliant!

Summary: Disgusting -- filled with incorrect facts and vitriol
Review: Coulter screams loudly, yet says nothing. She evidently hopes that her hyperbolic, vitriolic spewings are vivid enough to cover her poor grasp of history. Her lionization of Joseph McCarthy as a "poet" is particularly obscene, as is her revisionist attitude toward history. This is garbage, and those who buy into her rantings are in serious trouble.

Summary: Read this book
Review: Ann Coulter is great. You can read her book and disagree with her, but you cannot disagree with her evidence. Look it up yourself and try to disprove her. Test your friends that have been brought up by the media and ask them what they know about the Cold War and McCarthy. You will never get a concrete answer because they never read her book.
