Publisher's summary

Conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar is also a New York Times best-selling phenomenon: the author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court, Men in Black, and the deeply personal dog lover's memoir Rescuing Sprite, Mark R. Levin now delivers the book that characterizes both his devotion to his more than 5 million listeners and his love of our country and the legacy of our Founding Fathers.

Liberty and Tyranny is Mark R. Levin's clarion call to conservative America, a new manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century.

In the face of the modern liberal assault on Constitution-based values, an attack that has steadily snowballed since President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in a federal government that is a massive, unaccountable conglomerate, the time for re-enforcing the intellectual and practical case for conservatism is now. Conservative beliefs in individual freedoms do, in the end, stand for liberty for all Americans, while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of civilized society - in short, tyranny.

Looking back to look to the future, Levin writes, "Conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are our founding principles." And in a series of powerful essays, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into every timely issue affecting our daily lives, from the economy to health care, global warming, immigration, and more -- and illustrates how change, as seen through the conservative lens, is always prudent, and always an enhancement to individual freedom.

As provocative, well-reasoned, robust, and informed as his on-air commentary, Levin's narrative will galvanize listeners to begin a new era in conservative thinking and action.

American literary artwork

Mr. Levin clearly outlines difficulties iin America. However, he also pin points the sources of said difficulties and offers remedies. I loved Liberty and Tyranny. I think everyone should read thius book. Thank you.

Great Audio Book

Great audio book. Listened to the whole thing throughout a Sunday afternoon and evening. Levin really did an excellent job with this book and it has been a great experience listening to it.

Excellently written explanation of conservatism.

Clearly written and explained with examples and real examples and illustrations of the points made.

Overall this book energized me as an American

there were several parts of this that bog down and way too much information that was hard to listen to because it got boring. if I were reading it it probably would have been easier but listening alone I lost track of the point he was making it times.

Eye opening look into the inner workings

Content was very well put together. My only complaint is the narrator was sometimes hard to follow. Anyone who knows Mark Levin, he has a lot of character and his voice rally’s the troops. The narrator has impeccable reading skills, however, it was easy for me to lose concentration and have to rewind. All in all a great book though.

THE GREAT ONE STRIKES AGAIN!

Truly informative and interesting. If you want the truth about liberalism this book has it and much more.

Pertinent, Timely, & Relevant

Written over a decade ago, at many points within this book, it is difficult to believe how spot on Mark is, as to how the leftist agenda will play out.

I fully expect that this book will continue to be as timely and relevant in tge decades ahead.

Great read, better listen!

Set this Book next to the Bible.

Our purpose here as Mortal Beings is to understand, Why We Are Here, Where We Came from and Where We are going after We Die. The challenge is to understand that We are Exceptional Beings, created in our Creators Image. Life is short however, and difficult. Faith in God and not in Man is told in many forms. Build on a Rock, not Sand. Liberty is the Rock and Liberalism is the Sand. Conservativism is what Law abiding, Joy seeking Humans strive for. Tyranny is the opposite. Light and Darkness. Good vs Evil. This book needs to be studied over and over again as you would with the Word. Be a seeker of TRUTH. Now go...

Levin is the Thomas Payne of the 21st Century!

Mark Levin is the 21st Century Thomas Payne and his book is our generation's equivalent of "Common Sense" ! "Libery and Tyranny" is One of the MOST insightful, profound, & inspirational books I've EVER listened to concerning the intent of the Founding Fathers for America, Conservatism, and Statism. This is a MUST read for ALL Conservatives, Moderates, and TRULY "open minded" Liberals, or AMERICANS in general. Globalists and people who have disdain for America past, present, and future need NOT enter. We need to take our government back to serving the people instead of their own self-interests. "Liberty & Tyranny is relatively short, concise and to the point read. This book is a starting point for understanding where we've been, how we got to the mess our country is in now, and in general, what we need to do to start reversing this trend and get back to a form of government that is "OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people" of this GREAT nation. Ronald Reagan stated that "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were FREE." I agree with Levin that "We Conservatives NEED TO GET BUSY."
