Treason

Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism

By: Ann Coulter

Narrated by: Ann Coulter

“Liberals’ loyalty to the United States is off-limits as a subject of political debate. Why is the relative patriotism of the two parties the only issue that is out of bounds for rational discussion?”

In a stunning follow-up to her number one bestseller Slander, leading conservative pundit Ann Coulter contends that liberals have been wrong on every foreign policy issue, from the fight against Communism at home and abroad, the Nixon and the Clinton presidencies, and the struggle with the Soviet empire right up to today’s war on terrorism. “Liberals have a preternatural gift for always striking a position on the side of treason,” says Coulter. “Everyone says liberals love America, too. No, they don’t.” From Truman to Kennedy to Carter to Clinton, America has contained, appeased, and retreated, often sacrificing America’s best interests and security. With the fate of the world in the balance, liberals should leave the defense of the nation to conservatives.

Reexamining the sixty-year history of the Cold War and beyond—including the career of Senator Joseph McCarthy, the Whittaker Chambers–Alger Hiss affair, Ronald Reagan’s challenge to Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall,” the Gulf War, and our present war on terrorism—Coulter reveals how liberals have been horribly wrong in all their political analyses and policy prescriptions. McCarthy, exonerated by the Venona Papers if not before, was basically right about Soviet agents working for the U.S. government. Hiss turned out to be a high-ranking Soviet spy (who consulted Roosevelt at Yalta). Reagan, ridiculed throughout his presidency, ended up winning the Cold War. And George W. Bush, also an object of ridicule, has performed exceptionally in responding to America’s newest threats at home and abroad.

Coulter, who in Slander exposed a liberal bias in today’s media, also examines how history, especially in the latter half of the twentieth century, has been written by liberals and, therefore, distorted by their perspective. Far from being irrelevant today, her clearheaded and piercing view of what we’ve been through informs us perfectly for challenges today and in the future.

With Slander, Ann Coulter became the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual of the year. Treason, in many ways an even more controversial and prescient book, will ignite impassioned political debate at one of the most crucial moments in our history.

Well researched and documented statement

As others have pointed out, calling the Author a liar because you don't agree doesn't change facts. You may think you know the story, but until you've done the checking yourself, don't make assumptions that you or the Author is right. At least be open minded enough to look at a differing view. You may be surprised.
That being said, this is a pretty clear expose of how things have been consistantly warped to portray a liberal view of history. Another reviewer claimed that this is revisionist history. Perhaps, because it's revising things back to the truth. Hopefully this will challenge readers to do a bit of investigation on their own and not believe what they already "know" or what they read.
The truth is out there, use your brain.

Classic Coulter

The Lib's will hate it. They can't handle the truth. One of the best books you'll ever read. Truth by any other name is still the TRUTH. Well documented. Nice to know that there are still people able and willing to tell the truth, even about history.

Excellent Book

I doubt the negative reviews below have even ready it; just a knee jerk reaction from partisans. Go ahead and take a chance on it...it is not a perfect book but it is well written, informative and entertaining.

Liberals running scared

Coulter does a great job laying out the FACTS (not rumors, lies, and inuendo like that other so called "History" book by another infamous female author)to build a convincing picture of how the left has continuously worked to thawrt the best interests of our country. It makes you proud to be an American. Despite a half century of the best efforts of mainstream media to twist, distort, and defend the undermining acts of the democrats the truth will not die and cannot be covered up. This book will open your eyes to the real agenda of the left - and its not pretty.

Wonderful! Great for Today's reader.

A great story of how liberals are destroying history. Most importantly, she also does a wonderful job of putting the history in contempory terms so that a person born after Kennedy was shot can appreciate severity of the liberal's treason!
