Summary: Something to annoy everyone
Review: Ann Coulter may not be the deepest political philosopher out there, but she certainly is the most polarizing, if reactions to this book are any indication. Alternately condemned and praised by idealogues on both sides of the political fence, Coulter has become an icon of a certain kind of cartoon Conservatism, much as Molly Ivens is an exemplar of cartoon Liberalism. Neither offers much in the way of content, but both are more than willing to present personal prejudice as historical fact.Although truthfully that may be a little unfair to Coulter, who at least does make a passing attempt to cite historical fact. And she does in fact manage to point out that a number of the generally accepted stories in recent American history are more fiction than truth. Coulter's problem is that she cannot being herself to admit that any of the figures on her side of the fence may have flaws. While it's undisputably true that Alger Hiss was a Soviet agent- something many of the historical left still cannot accept- it is also probably also true that Joseph McCarthy was an unprincipled melagomaniac who was as interested in exploting a political issue as he was in uncovering spies. But to Coulter, McCarthy was a hero, despite all the innocents who may have been tarred by association. Does she really believe all she writes? I don't know. She seems to revel in her role as a bomb thrower, someone who stirs up argument and dissention, and why not? It certainly sells books. I'm sure this volume will sell ten or a hundred times as many as does, say, "The Venona Papers", an excellent study of declassified documents detailing Soviet espionage in the US. The appeal of people like Ann Coulter or Molly Ivens is that they appeal to our prejudices and allow us to justify our previously held beliefs without question. If that's what you're looking for, then this book will appeal to you. But if you're the type of person who refuses to characterize your political and philisophical beliefs with simple labels like "liberal" or "conservative", and who wants real historical data and not just glib opinion, you'd do better to look elsewhere.

Summary: The truth cannot be denied
Review: Great summary of history of the left wing take over of the Democrat party. I have been observing this for the past 40 years. Ann puts it all in an easy to understand book with many documented facts.

Summary: fascinating, an easy read
Review: I've been waiting years for someone to write the REAL story of Joe McCarthy... Finally Ann Coulter has done it, and what a revelation it is, after 50+ years of smears and lying propaganda about Joseph McCarthy. 'Treason' manages to be a page turner and meticulously documented at the same time -- a rare feat. Coulter also turns her spotlight on some of the most colossally underreported travesties of history --e.g., Owen Lattimore's subversion of America's China policy to favor Mao Tse Dung --the worst mass murderer in history...

Summary: Ann Coulter is GOD
Review: Her book is amazing. It is footnoted heavily, and totally -- with documentation -- destroys myth after myth that the liberals have foisted upon the public for decades. Coulter is a beauty with a sharp, scalpel-like tongue. She destroys weenie liberals with a tilt of her gorgeous head and a snappy, eviscerating comment. If I could, I would marry her. Then, I would marry her again. And again. And for good measure, I would then propose marriage. Only rarely do you meet a woman with this combination of beauty and brains.

Summary: For those who see the world in black and white . . .
Review: Less a book than a diatribe, it is hard to understand how some people see her, or her arguments, as objective. Indeed, conservative writers Dorothy Rabinowitz and David Horowitz have criticized her for being so over the top as to give her detractors credibility in their attacks on her and her adherents. Her contribution to the further polarization and invicivility in discourse is, however, plain to see. For those who buy into her rhetoric as the gospel, there is only one just point of view, and the world is easily separated into black and white. To sum up: a childish rant for those who prefer not to delve into the nuances and complexities that make up life and history.

Summary: A Serious Indictment of Democrats and Other Traitors
Review: You might think the blame America first, socialist Democrats are bad. But Ann Coulter will having you boiling mad at everyone who dares call themselves Democrats because this book documents just how really, truly bad they are. Evil, is more like it. It isn't a new phenomena that Democrats are trying to keep evil, murderous dictators in power in various countries throughout the world or that they are soft on international menaces who threaten the United States. No - they've been doing that for years and years, as Ann Coulter so eloquently documents in 'Treason'. They've cuddled with murderous Joe Stalin, they've spooned with Mao, all the while dismissing the literal piles of millions of corpses. Ann Coulter gets to the truth about the honorable Joseph McCarthy and his effort to keep known Soviet spies out of sensitive government positions. She cuts through all of the revisionist history and lies propounded by the left since their smear campaign against McCarthy started in the Democrats efforts to aid and defend the enemies of America. I'm pleased with my purchase of 'Treason'. Like her earlier work, 'Slander', this book has me in stitches sometimes as Ann can really throw the biting insults around with pinpoint accuracy. 'Treason' is a more serious work than 'Slander' as it just doesn't document the abyssmal stupidity of the Democrats, it documents the outright treason in which the Democrats have engaged for decades.

Summary: eye opening
Review: I am listening to it for the second time. It has really opened my eyes about things I was not sure about. The use of footnotes is very helpful. I bought the book for that info, while I listen to the CD. I also enjoyed Slander.

Summary: Clearing the Forest's of History
Review: Well written and well researched; facts are facts and Ann does her usual wonderful job of lifting the curtains of 'myth', hearsay, and bias written by history's lazy, hazy scribes leaving out a good deal of truth. Ann Coulter sets the record straight with honesty. I highly recommend this book for ages 15 to 100.
