Summary: History and the lack of scholarship
Review: Isn't it interesting that most people get their sense of history from television and the movies? Ms. Coulter does an outstanding job of setting the record straight. By using her incredible wit, she has honed in on her target audience, unfortunately at the expense of an even handed approach. Don't mis-understand, her book is solidly researched and well written, its just that it's written with a conservative mind-set to start with.
Stunningly, some of the most telling evidence of the aims of the idealogical "left" are relegated to the very last chapter. Perhaps these quotes will be a good starting point for another book.
Despite the bombastic style, this book is stunning.

Summary: If you think for yourself, this is not your book.
Review: Ann Coulter's new book Treason is only good if you want someone else to tell you how to think. While her arguments are well drawn out, she just seems to spew hatred rather than convincing statements. Obviously she has been hurt in the past by a liberal man somewhere along the line and is trying to get back at the whole left wing side of politics. For any person who likes to make up their own mind about things this book will just leave you angry. It is a sad comment on America when authors like this and books like this are popular. It really scares me that people actually think like she thinks. God bless America because I think we really need the help and forgive us while you are at it for the hatred that Ann Coulter and her brethren like to spew.

Summary: More red meat for the demented conservative fringe.
Review: Coulter has labeled over fifty percent of the American people (if you go by the percent who voted for Gore and Nader) as traitors. Her hero is that discredited hatemonger, Joe McCarthy. I look forward to Ms. Coulter's next book, which will undoubtedly set the record straight about that thoroughly misunderstood anti-communist, Adolph Hitler, a man whom Coulter fans and ditto heads everywhere have more in common with than they realize.

Summary: Someone had to write it
Review: In a nutshell, Ann uses her typical style of actually researching everything she writes about, so by using the footnotes, you can see for yourself that when she says 'so-and-so' said or did this or that, you can look it up yourself to verify the accuracy of the statements. She doesn't have the same writers disease that is evident in the New York Times. She nails the truth. Whether you believe that her presentation of all of this 'evidence' leads you to her conclusion that liberals are treasonous is your choice. Certainly, the word 'UnAmerican' can be used safely and accurately; but my personal view is that liberals are just too stupid to really be acting out with treasonous intentions. We always have to remember that liberals are elitists who think they are the smartest ones on the planet who know soooo much more than all of us 'small folk'. This makes them say and do things which reflect their (bizzaro-world) brand of common sense...'like Barbara Streisand telling us to hang clothes on the line instead of using our dryers...' (as if she would)..that make them come off as idiots, saying unAmerican things. They are too dumb to be traitors. But, the title makes it more fun...It is more fun to call a liberal a treasonous-goof-ball, than just a goof-ball.
Buy this book, mark sentences and passages, take it with you to parties...(and it is a wonderful primer on the good that Joe McCarthy did...thank God for that man). Enjoy.

Summary: Hit the nail on the head
Review: Ann tells it like it is. She points out decades of liberal lies and cover-ups with facts. She writes tongue-in-cheek, but gets her point across. The book is entertaining and should be a must-read for all Democrats to see what their party has deteriorated into. It starts off slow, but quickly gains ground as she takes us from WWII to the present. Ann is the Queen of Conservatives. Long live the Queen!

Summary: Do you hear the Left laughing?
Review: Ann Coulter is always good for a laugh. She is criticized by everyone who's more left wing than Pat Buchanen (Nazi sympathizer). I haven't read the book and I promise you I never will, but I've heard plenty of Coulter's comments and the comments of her listeners to know that she thinks that liberals (which evidentally include the people who write history books, the majority of Americans, and the people who started this country) are inheritantly evil. Most of the time conservativism makes me angry (like that of the people who are trying to run our country (into the ground)) but I can't help but think that coulter should consider a career doing stand-up for liberal audiences. What a riot. Keep the comedy coming, Ann.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent and Thought Provoking
Review: If you're looking for the unvarnished truth about liberals, you'll find it in this book. Ms. Coulter adeptly and convincingly makes her points by contrasting contemporary themes with the historical foundation of our country.

Summary: Ann Coulter Does It Again!
Review: Ann Coulter is a superb author. Her works are well researched and documented. Many reviewers (certainly of the Left) contend that her works are fictitious. But, Ann thoroughly documents all of her assertions with meticulous endnotes. Anyone that declares her work to be fictitious must be living in an alternate reality. The sad fact is, the elite liberal left is the group that has the aversion to facts and not perverting history. Alger Hiss was a Communist. Roosevelt was made aware of this. We cannot say that Roosevelt did nothing about it. He did promote Hiss after all. And, why not? After all, Hiss was at Yalta and the United Nations is due in great part to his persuasion with FDR. Harry Truman liked "Uncle Joe". Heaven forbid that anything bad was said about Stalin within earshot of Truman. It is too bad that the military felt it necessary to hide the continued Venona Project from Truman, because he did not want them to decrypt any more of the Soviet cables. I wonder of what Truman was afraid would be unearthed? Surely it couldn't be that it is that the Democrats were communist sympathizers, as the decrypted cables now bear out?! Horrors! I particularly like that bit about Truman and the Democrats having been responsible for the end to Communism and the fall of the USSR that the Elite Left asserts. The same group that said that it would never go away and we would just have to learn to live with it is now the reason it is gone? And, all along I thought Ronald Reagan and his anti-communism crusade was the reason. Silly me! If you want a well researched work to read and feel a need to know the truth, read this book. If you want to live in a fantasy world, you don't have to buy a book. You could just listen to academia, which has perverted history to their leftist liking anyhow. Note that reviews of this book are either negative or positive. But, also note that the negative remarks are all slanderous allegations with no facts documented to dispute what Ann Coulter states and documents with proof in her endnotes. There are baseless assertions being made. But, alas, they are not by Ann Coulter.

Summary: But, were there spies in the State Department?
Review: It is likely that most everyone who reads Ann Coulter's, "Treason", will become angry. Liberals will reflexively reject the charges in anger. Conservatives will become angry at the thought that facts could be hidden for so long and the truth replaced by career-ending, reputation-destroying lies. Some will choose, as I did, to look further in order to assess the validity of Ms. Coulter's accusations. From time to time, more information is released regarding the Watergate scandal; further condemning President Nixon for his role even though it happened more than 30 years ago and little new reliable information is disclosed. By contrast, hardly anyone I've asked has ever heard of the Venona Project. That should raise some red flags (no pun intended) for anyone concerned with the truth. The Venona Project is the name given to the gathering and decoding of message traffic between Soviet diplomats in the U. S. and the Soviet government in Moscow during the 1940's and 50's. Although the Soviets were our allies in WWII, many believed that in the long run they were a bigger threat than the Nazis. By the early 1950's, enough had been decoded to reveal that Senator McCarthy's suspicions of communist agents occupying key positions in the U.S. government were true. Messages revealed that the Rosenberg's and Alger Hiss (along with many others in key positions in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations) were indeed Soviet spies, something that the American left had strongly denied and some do to this day. Less than a month ago, "60 Minutes" ran a segment in which a heavily disguised Daniel Greenglass (Ethel Rosenberg's brother) was allowed to defend her claims of innocence. This issue is one of the most hotly debated in the history of America. The message contents were classified until Daniel Patrick Moynahan sued under the Freedom of Information Act and got them released to the public in 1995. One would expect this to unleash a flurry of news reports and perhaps even a movie. Of course, it did not. One would think that such disregard of information would make even die-hard liberals take pause. I am sure it did not. While I could not validate all of Ms. Coulter's claims, the message content from the Venona project, some of which can be found on government web sites, verifies her basic charges. Some of Ms. Coulter's characterizations are a bit hyperbolic and some of her comments have been called "mean-spirited". However, while carrying the baggage of Michael Moore and Al Franken, liberals have little to scream about. That doesn't stop them, of course. Most of the negative reviews do no more than vilify Ms. Coulter. A few attempt to counter her claims. Most of those seem to be unsure of their "facts". One reviewer defended JFK by pointing to the Bay of Pigs incident and the Cuban missile crisis. Of course, the Bay of Pigs fiasco in which JFK betrayed the anti-Castro, Cuban invaders and allowed them to be slaughtered by Castro's army, is one of the low points in American history; one in which historians have mostly chosen to give JFK a pass. Most, but apparently not all, Americans are now aware that JFK did not "stare down" Nikita Khrushchev. Rather he made a secret deal guaranteeing no further invasions of Castro's Communist "Workers Paradise" and the removal of American missiles from Turkey in exchange for the removal of the missiles from Cuba. The truth was quietly revealed years later with the untrue claim that we were going to remove the missiles from Turkey anyway. The book, despite claims to the contrary, is well-written and clever. It is true that some Conservatives have distanced themselves from Ms. Coulter as a result of her Moore and Franken style descriptions of her opponents. This just points out a fundamental difference between Liberals' and Conservatives' views of fairness. However, as Ms. Coulter frequently asks in the face of ad hominem attacks, "But, were there Soviet spies in the State Department?" The answer seems to be quite assuredly, yes.
