Summary: Racist, hateful woman
Review: Many have said enough against this woman's book and her wicked views. I just felt I needed to add my 2 cents. If you like to hate, if you like to scorn, if you like to lie, then you'll like this book. Every other sane person should pass on it, and anything else written by this monster.

Summary: The worst book I have ever read, ever
Review: Being a proud Communist, gay-loving, tree-hugging, baby-killing traitor liberal I was naturally outraged at Coulter's ridiculous claims. But when I read her quote about the U.S Army I was pushed over the line. From my point of view, that is the most disgusting form of high treason. To attack the people that put their lives on the line to protect our freedom, to protect HER freedom. In her quest to expose the traitors, Coulter has become one herself. Coulter is the most vile, disgusting excuse for a human being ever to plague our great nation.

Summary: myth buster
Review: Well done. This sheds new light on Truman, FDR and McCarthy and more. Half way thru and learning a lot. Any review of less than 3 stars, you can be sure is from a myth propagator. Schumer and Kennedy, and such, seem to be of the line that if you tell a lie often enough it will become reality. Remember "its the economy stupid" and "perception is reality".

Summary: the skeptic times reviewer
Review: If you are far right wing you will no doubt love this book - not many liberals like this book. It gets a lot of criticism for the 780 (plus) references from many liberals like Al Franken. In Franken's book Lies, he claims that Coulter lied. The problem here is that four of my friends and I researched every one of Coulter's references (for our Journalism class grade), and it came out that Coulter did not lie. There are definitely opinions that Coulter shares that are very right wing, but she does an infallible job at getting accurate references. I recommend this book to conservatives who want to read accurate information.

Summary: The Book of the Decade
Review: Treason is the most important book written in recent years, it exposes the liberal's greatest lie. McCarthy was not a villain, but an American hero. Most Americans will be shocked to learn what they were taught in high school and college about McCarthy were lies.

Summary: Book Recommendation for Those who Like Treason:
Review: I'm posting here because if you like Ann Coulter, I might recommend Sean Hannity's Deliver Us From Evil. Just finished it. All I can say is WOW! In my little post here, I'm not going to wave flags or espouse the virtues of one party over another, praise or bash Bush. My political orientation is "inactive". I don't care for either party, hence seldom venture out to the poles. I'm far from a flaming "Lib" (unless by "Lib" you mean "libertarian") and lean further to the right philosophically than many of you, probably. I am posting here to give two examples of why this book is a journalistic disgrace, and Hannity should be discredited as an author. For your consideration I give you:Exhibit A)
Page 22. Hannity cites a 10/22/01 New York Times op ed that discusses the US military's action in Afghanistan after 9/11. He claims NYT's opinion is that... "[The US] was not strong enough to conquer these foes, so we might as well compromise before we suffer too much. It was only the latest evidence of how little faith the Times truly has in the resolve of the American military." This is NOT the gist of the NYT op ed. In fact, this article says EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what Hannity describes. The op ed states: "Even though the risks are great, President George W. Bush made the right choice". And it concludes, "As [our soldiers] go [to war] they should know that the nation supports their cause and yearns for their success." ->Does this seem to you that the NYT had "little faith in the military" or the President? Hannity's description of the NYT op ed is a blatant lie.<- If that isn't bad enough, let's talk about Neville Chamberlain for a spell. Hannity goes back through time to give us a distorted, outdated and incorrect account of Neville Chamberlain's appeasement policy toward Hitler prior to WWII. It is THE example he cites of why dictators can't be appeased and how such policies invariably lead to disaster. In Chamberlain's case, according to Hannity, appeasement resulted a bloody world war and millions of deaths. He uses Neville Chamberlain's "appeasement policy" to set-up his strawman arguments against Carter, Clinton, and liberals. That would be all well and good if his history of Chamberlain was accurate. However, his account of Chamberlain is WRONG! I give you exhibits B and C. Exhibit B is a passage from a well-known on-line encyclopedia, encyclopedia4u.com. I selected this to illustrate that this view of appeasement borders on common knowledge, not a fringe view. Exhibit C is from BBC World History. I think the BBC knows a little bit about British History. Exhibit B)
"Chamberlain's professed commitment to avoiding war with Hitler resulted in his controversial policy of "appeasement," which culminated in the Munich Pact (1938). Although contemporaries and scholars during and after the war criticized Chamberlain for believing that Hitler could be appeased, recent research argues that Chamberlain was not so naive and that appeasement was a shrewd policy developed to buy time for an ill-prepared Britain to rearm. Exhibit C)
"Chamberlain, the man who made appeasement famous, was from a family of statesmen...appeasement (however) has seldom been discussed in this light, and most of his critics have misrepresented his position. The urgent desire to negotiate with Hitler and Mussolini did not, in Chamberlain's case, spring from pacifism...He strongly supported sanctions against Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and was a vocal supporter of rearmament after 1934...Chamberlain's willingness to negotiate with Hitler was thus more than a result of a sense of military weakness..." I could cite a dozen souces which all say, basically, that Chamberlain only "appeased" Hitler to stall while he frantically worked to rearm Britain to prepare for an inevitable war. Any cursory research (at, say, an 8th grade level) would show this. Of course, the commonly accepted true account of Chamberlain's appeasement policy doesn't really help Hannity's cause, does it? So, what's the writer of a right-wing screed to do? Twist ths facts. I have illustrated here a blatant lie and a sorry case of fact twisting and half truths on the part of this unqualified infotainer/"author". I won't even get into his laughable cherry-picking of history, that's to be expected from a right-wing AM radio zealot. Don't mind being lied to by a dishonest author as long as what he's espousing is congruent with your political POV? Be my guest. As for me I find such tactics - regardless of political orientation, unconscionable. For those who listen to Hannity daily, what I have created in this post is a "logical argument" based on something know as "facts". Logic and facts may be foreign to you... this is what they look like.

Summary: The best non-fiction book I've ever read
Review: Contrary to to the low ratings given by the liberal idealogues, (who probably did not read the book)I think "Treason" is terrific writing.This is a well-researched, historically accurate work. Ms. Coulter lays out the facts, which cannot be found in any public school texts, and puts together an airtight case against the elitist liberal crowd. If you value truth, you will find this book indespensible. One other thing; unlike the angry, mean-spirited people she writes about, Ms. Coulter has a great sense of humor.

Summary: She is very angry
Review: Anne Coulter seems to me to be someone that learned very early, that hate is a great tool at rallying people behind you. That calling attention to certain people and blaming them for everything makes money. Hey, I am not some bleeding heart that says love your neighbor. However, I did wonder what the point of this book was. She expresses her anger but she does not really back it up. When she wishes to dismiss an opposing argument, she merely labels the person or group making the opposing point as "stupid" or "morons." We are not talking about literature that will be appearing in Political Science classes in the future. I don't want to be ugly, even though this book can work you up, whether you like it or not. But this just seemed to me like hanging out with someone that is angry and after awhile you either hate with her or put it down. I chose to put it down. Ahhh, life is beautiful!

Summary: Liberal Treason Exposed
Review: As she did in her first two books, Ann Coulter writes a tome of brilliant page-turning political commentary in her controversial book "Treason: Liberal Treachery From The Cold War To The War On Terrorism". Those who have the joy of reading it from cover-to-cover will not be surprised that it has liberals screaming in desperation. Because just as "Slander" exposed an entrenched liberal media bias, "Treason" exposes liberal attempts at history revisionism and the stark reality that many liberals do not side with America in her fight for survival. The book begins with a brief overview titled "Fifty Years of Treason" and works its way toward modern times with a stunning array of detail and factual evidence to back up Coulter's opinions. Those of us who have been brainwashed to view Senator Joseph McCarthy as a demagogue orchestrating the Salem Witch Trials of the 1950s will be forced to rethink our positions and challenge our prejudices. Along the way, the author exposes the liberal attempts to revise the history of the Whittaker Chambers/Alger Hiss affair, Ronald Reagan's fight against the Evil Empire and his challenge to tear down the Berlin wall, the Gulf War, and the current war on terrorism. Regardless of whether such action is the result of conspiracy or incompetence, Ann Coulter reveals how liberals have been horribly wrong in their assessment of modern day political policy. Is it any wonder she's so reviled by the Left? With a full erudite wit on constant display, an expert grasp of the English language, and an easy-to-read style of political prose, Ann Coulter has no doubt established herself as the book world's preeminent conservative political commentator. That reputation is well deserved, and "Treason" is a book that every American should read... Britt Gillette
