Summary: Worthless.
Review: This would be a good book, if the world were as black and white as Coulter would like you to believe. She continously groups all Americans under two umbrellas, liberal and conservative. Congratulations Anne, you are unoriginal and mediocre. While I was a bit dismayed that she took the easy way out in the beginning, I was hoping that she would have a strong argument. Nope. She argues all right, but her argument is largely circular, and it has absolutely no facts to back it up. In the first few pages she claims a US senator lauded Bin Laden for his work on child daycare centers. Who? When? What was the context? It did not get any better. If you want to read the rants of a delusional ugly blonde, then by all means, waste your money. Otherwise, I suggest something else...anything else for that matter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The fight against revisionist history
Review: While it is typically more usefull to read 1st hand accounts of history, Ann Coulter and her team of researchers, with their more than 800 references to primary source documents (as opposed to secondary sources used frequently by revisionists) put forth a case that is nearly impossible to argue with.

She examines Sen. Joe McCarthy in a way that liberal revisionist historians would hate, with actually evidence. If you have heard and believe that McCarthy was part of HUAC, and you do not know why that is impossible, then you need to read this book.

Some may not like the often tough criticism of the left, but only the far left will try to disagree with the conclusions.
In the end, Coulter's book is entertaining and would make a valuable supplement to high school and college history texts covering the McCarthy era.

Though its just shy of 300 pages, its almost impossible to put it down; I finished it in one night. Its worth your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The truth hurts.
Review: Ann knows her facts, as she shows so well in her book.
Her biting style is sure to alienate liberals, and that seems to be her wish.
Those on the left can't dispute her facts, so they are reduced to personal "ad hominem" (or is it "ad feminam") attacks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I would give it 1,000,000 stars if I could figure out how to
Review: Despite the claim by the earlier reviewer below about that thing about the Volvo, the truth is, is this is a very important, patriotic and godly book that exposes the leftist media, leftist Hollywood, leftist "educators," leftist politicians, leftist columnists, leftist feminazis, leftist one-worlders, leftist fellow travelers, leftist letter-writers, leftist rumormongers, leftist revisionists, leftist druggies, leftist dividers-not-uniters, leftist brie-eating emasculated so-called "gentlemen" who scorn bravery and mock hard work. This book honors and exalts our business leaders, spies, soldiers and firemen, many of whom, like our Blessed Founding Father, made the Ultimate Sacrifice and paid the Ultimate Price. By the ultimate, I mean death, not taxes, though taxes are bad and ungodly also. Read your Scripture and you will see Ann Coulter is right!!!

Wake up, America!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whoa!
Review: I think this is a very good book because Ms. Coulter is very pretty and she proves that even pretty women in short skirts can write books, which is very hard. I know I could never write a book, and if I did, it would never be as good as this book that made me think a lot about things and the way things are.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A complete outsider weighs in...
Review: Controversy surrounding the publication of this book reached Australia almost immediately. And considering the kind of polarity of reaction it generated, I made up my mind to read it almost immediately.

Before hearing of Ann Coulter on the news, I had never heard of her, nor read her first book, nor read any of the below reviews. I am not American, and cultivate deep ignorance about American politics. I am not any kind of political anything. I am a book-nerd, here by chance.

In other words, as completely free of bias as a rational person can be.

...and forewarned, a rational person would not have read this excuse for a book.

An unbiased commentary is not possible. It requires every political neuron you possess on the table as a price of admission. What is most annoying is that if even some of it is correct, it certainly is interesting. McCarthy is usually presented in the same breath as Genghis Khan and Vlad the Impaler - this common usage may not be entirely justified.

That aside, Coulter manages to somehow combine a ponderous amount of cut-and-dried fact with elephantine distortions, while being as personally objectionable as possible. This ruined any possible educative effect this book might ever have had. Heavily, heavily re-written by someone who treats the English language and the reader with some kind of respect, this might be interesting.

A book of this kind would only obtain popular status in America. It is a biased, childish, populist, two-fisted screaming tantrum that was a genuine displeasure for this non-American to read.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wait a minute....
Review: I thought this was suposed to a NONFICTION book?!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Her Best Work to Date
Review: Everyone READ THIS BOOK.

Then Read Al Frankens Lie's and Lying liars who tell them.

Check the facts in each one and THINK about what you belive is the truth and why you think that.... then go and vote next year.

This is all we have to do to get America on the right track.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Weak arguments
Review: According to Ms Coulter, there are many liberals whose acts are treasonable. Yet in this book, her documentation is weak and thin. This is surprising since she went to law school. According to the U.S. Code Treason is described in Section 2381. "Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
If Ms. Coulter really believes the people she portrays in her book are guilty of treason, it her duty as a lawyer to turn them in to the U.S. Justice Department. Until the Justice Department acts against these so-call traitors, I give her book 1 star.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sick to my stomach
Review: I'm a liberal, and I feel it's fair to see what the other side is thinking from time to time. I'd never known about Coulter until I read her name in Michael Moore's "Dude, Where's My Country?" I really did try to read this book, honestly. I read the dust jacket and managed to get about 15 pages in before I started to feel ill. And I mean really ill, like "black hole in the bottom of my stomach" ill. I just could not believe someone like Coulter could exist. These books are pure, solidified hate and insanity. Never before have I read anything that I knew was written by someone with a mental disorder. Marylin Manson seems like a much more sane and rational writer that Coulter. I was wracked with internal pains and dizziness for three days until my copy of "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" arrived in the mail; I felt instantly well after reading the first chapter.
