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.
