Publisher's summary

“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 2003 follow-up to her number-one best seller 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 60-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 US 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 20th 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 work, will ignite impassioned political debate at one of the most crucial moments in our history.

Brilliant and funny

Coulter writes this fact based book with brilliant insight and humour. A highly recommended read for anyone who wants to hear the truth about liberals.

Insane or just Stupid?

Truly, Anne Coulter is either mentally ill, utterly unconcerned with the immorality of her constant fabrications and slander, or just incredibly stupid. The only thing which could eclipse the staggering idiocy contained in this book would be that found in her many fans.

Doltishly Written

Dear Lord. does this author go to bed and dream up her material and then try to pass it off as non-fiction. I tried to verify a dozen or more of her "facts" and came up with pure fabrication or misrepresentation every time. There ought to be a law! I put this book out at a garage sale last week and at the end of the day it was still there. Apparently other people knew somehing about this author I didn't. Ah, well, live and learn.

I bought the abridged version

Quite simply, I bought the abridged version, and while its possible that the unabridged version somehow cures all the ills of the abridged version, in comparing the two I STRONGLY suggest to you that the only difference is that the longer one simply containd more lies and mistakes. If you MUST buy this book do yourself a favor and purchase the shorter version. You can use the time you save to do something infinately more educational and entertaining (such as sitting alone in a dark room twiddling your fingrers).
