Summary: Sharp wit
Review: Liberals hate this book, most of them without actually reading it. Those that read it will hate it because (A) it points out inconvenient facts and (B) it's written by a conservative who made no attempt to hide her conservative bias. Her pen drips as much sarcasm as ink, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Most of the targets of her sarcasm are liberal stupidities which desperately need to be lampooned.
Most of the negative reviews I've seen here (the ones that have any substantive criticisms, anyway) pick up on details but miss a main point, rendering their treatment of the details less credible.
A good read, if you're a conservative and/or if you don't mind sharp sarcasm.

Review: Far right wingers will love this book and make them feel better. However the book really is just a bunch of name calling instead of focusing on the issues.

Summary: Too many lies and half truths
Review: This book is so poorly researched and so over the top that my first impulse was to laugh and think that Coulter was pulling my leg. Then I realized that she is serious and, seriously mentally ill! She is consumed with projecting onto her political enemies on own vile sentiments and boy is it transparent. The end notes are useless and largely dishonest. Even some of her friends on the far right have denounced this screed. In the end, I enjoyed using it for toilet paper and to line my cat's litter box. Save your money and avoid this tripe altogether.

Summary: Laugh Out Loud Funny and Historically Accurate Throughout
Review: Ann Coulter strikes again and scores another bull's eye. While "Treason's" most important segment is unquestionably it's accurate reporting of Joseph McCarthy's life and accomplishments, the most enjoyable aspect is Ann's abundantly displayed wicked satire. Those who have never taken the time and energy (most of the population) to explore the truth of McCarthyism will likely be shocked by the book's revelations. The senator did accuse many citizens of being enemy communist agents; all were indeed enemy communist agents. The inveterate myth of Hollywood blacklisting is a genuine as Barbra Streisand's hair color. The section of the book devoted to McCarthyism should be required reading in every high school and college. Hopefully it would stir many students to investigate the situation more thoroughly, which is why it will never be assigned in any class. Despite the current leftist myopia toward Communism's honorable foe, the author shows how some honest liberals strongly backed the senator. She quotes President Kennedy indignantly responding to quip that equated McCarthy and Alger Hiss, "how dare you couple the name of a great American (McCarthy) with that of a traitor." The book also includes interesting anecdotes about Joseph McCarthy's early support for civil rights and his heavy campaigning in black neighborhoods, and mentions that "long before it was fashionable, he employed a strikingly diverse staff." While his name is now anathema to elites and academia, Miss Coulter documents how tremendously popular he was during his lifetime. The book's overall theme that the American Left has abandoned loyal opposition in favor of outright aiding and abetting the enemy is polemically daring, but the author offers ample data to support her allegations. Much of evidence is presented with the caustic derision the readers of Ann Coulter's syndicated column have come to love so much. Among her precious gems: On liberal opposition to the SDI missile shield: "Democrats suddenly became hardheaded fiscal conservatives; for the first time in recorded history, liberals were concerned about the cost and usefulness of a government program. These people believe federally funded art therapy for the homeless will pay for itself...but a shield to repel incoming nuclear missiles from American soil, they said was too expensive." Strobe Talbot is described as "Time Magazine's Washington Bureau Chief, arms control expert, U.S. deputy secretary of state under Clinton, and pompous octogenarian blowhard all before he was nineteen years old." Dennis Kucinich is identified as "democratic presidential candidate and strange-looking little man." Walter Cronkite is very appropriately termed "'legendary newsman,' 'national treasure,' and pompous liberal gasbag." She quotes Jeanne Garofalo (had anyone heard of her before the war anyway?) as saying "now that I'm sober I watch a lot of news," and after offering a few more samples of the actress's behemoth stupidity, the author sarcastically speculates, "you had to wonder if her newfound sobriety had hit a rough patch." Saddam Hussein-loving has-been Sean Penn is called the "head of 'Chain-Smoking Drunks Against War,'' and in adumbrating Norman mailer's obtuse pronouncements, she just can't help mentioning that his "last successful novel was written 54 years ago." Like Miss Coulter's previous bestseller "Slander," this work is painstakingly documented. However, while the plethora of annotations at times marred the earlier work, footnotes as generously used as they are here, never become a distraction in this book. Of course this tome will primarily preach to the choir. One cannot imagine many Clintonistas perusing its pages (for one thing the vocabulary is far too advanced for their brains.) Even though Ann Coulter's unapologetic stance on the Right is proudly evident, any open-minded person will learn plenty from this risible yet historically essential book.

Summary: Liberal¿s would burn Ann at the stake if they could!!!!!
Review: Ann must be right!! Take a look around, the liberal's would burn Ann at the stake if they could. Ann has become the "Witch" in the new Liberal "Witch-hunt" against the Right. Do liberals doing anything other than call people names and make inaccurate accusations?

Summary: Blondness is temporary...fanatical stupidity is forever!
Review: Coulter's unrestrained, misinformed right-wing diatribes only reinforce my perceptions of the selfish "we-must-win" ("we" being conservatives) and "you-must-lose" ("you" being liberals/moderates) attack mentality held by those on the hard right. I was really, really hoping for some small attempts at objectivity, but came away disgusted and sad. I suggest that Annie keep using the peroxide for her book cover poses, because it will soon be the only thing selling her books to non-radicals.

Summary: The facts check out
Review: I use this book and her book "Slander" as part of my Quantitative Analysis course. As part of the course, we take time to look up her facts and figures. Her facts do check out. Hence, from that perspective the book is excellent. Also, she points out many other interesting points. This book is a good read even if your political opinion is on the left. This book should give a liberal a good idea of the rights opinion of them. One last point, the democratic party today is not the party of Harry Truman. I am sure Harry is rolling in his grave.

Summary: Oh, please...
Review: I didn't have to buy the book. I picked it out of the garbage. The 1st Amendment gives her the right to sell this stuff, but let's hope that Americans who bought the book don't "buy" the lies and distortions in this book. I don't know how anyone with a conscience can stand behind such drivel.

Summary: Whose Treason?
Review: There is a word for people like Ann Coulter who try to justify Joseph McCarthy and then use the word "traitor" to describe opponents of Corporate controlled government. The word is Fascist.
Frau Coulter should also remember that in 1776 "conservatives" were called Tories. In 1861 they were rebels, copperheads and slave owners. In the 1950s-1970s they were called segregationists and were responsible for America's bad image whenever we ranted on about "freedom".
