Ann Coulter sees them for what they are. You and I see them for what they are and the American people see them for what they are.
Ask any liberal if he/she is proud to be an American and they will reply not always.

Book Description
“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.

Ford was right, History IS Bunk!, June 28, 2003
Reviewer: Bryan C. Weber (see more about me)
Some people have dismissed this book as a work of fiction. They're the ones this book is talking about. Unlike the recent works of a noted LIBERAL (who I won't name, out of common decency), this book is not only informative, it backs up its facts with source material, research, and basic facts.
I read this book out of curiosity, believing that a book titled "Treason" on Liberals would be a cry from the far right so extreme as to be laughable.
I was wrong.
With documented facts, footnotes, and an extensive mountain of research, Ann Coulter has laid the basic facts bare for all to see. Liberals have consistently and efficiently defied reason, common sense, and flat out lied over the years.
All the American History I learned in school is called into extreme question. I was taught that McCarthy was a bully who used a cry of "Communist" to silence his political opponents. What they did not tell me in school, what I did not even hear on the six o' clock news, was that declassified Soviet documents proved that almost everyone McCarthy named was, in fact, on the Soviet payroll.
They told us that containment won the Cold War. They did not point out, President by President how much ground the Soviets gained (and usually when a Democrat was President). They did not tell us how Reagan won the Cold War by not backing down from his foes.
I urge you to read this book...

Nothing like the truth to destroy the liberal agenda!, June 27, 2003
Reviewer: Patrick "Sarge" Murray from Lexington, Indiana
Forget all the revisionistic tripe that's been crammed down our throats that Joe McCarthy was this evil fire-breathing dragon; I mean, it's not as if we haven't heard this liberal mantra a thousand times before! Ann Coulter's "Treason" uncovers the truth, and proves not only that McCarthy was patriotic in his "witch hunts," but that the State Department under FDR and Harry Truman was crawling with communist spies under orders from Stalin himself. When a high-ranking official in the State Department brought evidence of Alger Hiss' ties to the Soviet Union to FDR, the crippled dictator-wannabe told the man to go f--- himself. Let's not forget that FDR referred to Stalin as "Uncle Joe," while we're at it.
Still think liberals love the USA? This book proves otherwise. In short, this book provides the greatest education money can buy on one of America's most critical periods of history (the early Cold War), and how the liberals tried to undermine us from within. Anyone who won't acknowledge the validity of this THOROUGHLY researched magnum opus has their head in the sand.
Oh, and about the 'Hollywood Ten' that got blacklisted? They were also taking orders from Stalin. It's all in the book. Buy it today; those are Sarge's orders!

Scary!, July 6, 2003
Reviewer: Andrew (see more about me) from Gainesville, Florida United States
I don't really know where to begin. This book is terrifying. Not because of what Ann is claiming, but because people are buying it. Ann is at the forefront of a movement that is killing political dissent in America. Her quotes are often incorrect and taken out of context, and her fact checking is either laughable or deliberately misleading. It is irresponsible to even treat this book as nonfiction.
I am at a loss as to why so many Americans are quick to embrace Coulter's apologist view of McCarthyism. I beg anyone who is considering a purchase of this book to balance out their learning with some books based on reality. At least read Brendan Nyhan's well written online retort to gain some sort of perspective.

A real eye-opener, July 6, 2003
Reviewer: A reader from Illinois, USA
This is a book that needed to be written and couldn't have been written better. As I read through the first few chapters, I was first amazed, and then angered, that the facts about paid
Soviet agents in our government in the 1940s and 1950s had been dismissed and then, when incontrovertibly proven, ignored by mainstream media. Ann makes a convincing case that the left has actively supported treasonable activity and has consistently taken the anti-American, pro-enemy position on every foreign policy issue since World War II. None of the negative reviews here or elsewhere has answered these assertions. |
