Mark Levin takes a subject that is inherently dry and turns it into a "page turner". If you care about our country and want to understand what made it so great, and ways to keep it great, then you need to read this book. It should be required reading in all of our schools. Whether you are liberal or conservative in your thinking, you should read this book, only if it is the first two chapters. I have read the entire book twice.

To be kind, in (what Rand used to refer to as) "the intellectual bankruptcy of our age," any literary or mildly conceptual assertion of liberty, however limited, must be appreciated. And Levin doesn't seem to be malicious or suppressive of the truth as he ignores the fundamental principles of liberty from the "Great Libertarian Thinkers, Writers, and Activists" of history. He is simply blithely and blissfully clueless of this vast body of freedomwork... I think.
On the other hand--and this is the perfect question for all modern "conservatives" who pose as promoters of liberty--"What's their problem with Ron Paul?" Hasn't the libertarian-Republican Congressman from Texas, among all those in positions of influence and power in our American world, best articulated the vision of freedom in our time? Why doesn't Levin even give the good doctor a mention[2]. Was Levin freeze-dried or living in a cave during the 2008 Republican primary? What sort of liberty does Levin seek if he makes no connection whatever to the only true libertarian--and I'm using libertarian in the generic sense here, as anyone who advocates/ practices liberty--in recent memory on the national political stage?!

Mr. Levin's latest work, "Liberty and Tyranny" is a great source of information for conservatives. It clearly and concisely lays out the various facets of the "statist" agenda and the undeniable harm it has done, and is doing, to our nation. In addition it makes the case for conservatism, the benefits of conservatism for all citizens. It is a brilliant history of this nation's founding, the great men that forged our Constitution in all it's brilliance. This is one of those books that I will keep on my shelf (next to "Men in Black" and "Rescuing Sprite"). It is my handbook on citizenship and American exceptionalism. I highly recommend it, especially to the young people who are our hope for the future.

Fantastic book. Mark Levin the author Gets It. He shows historically how liberals have systematically tried to destroy this country and make it into their image by taking away rights and liberties of people and giving more of what people earn to other people.Also shows how the Federal Government got bigger and bigger and the States power got less and less as people entitlements grew and programs to give people other peoples money exploded in growth and people became more dependant on Federal handouts rather than work. Mark shows why Capitalism and free market forces are the way to go rather than government trying to control everything and enslaving work ethic and lose of profit motive by having government control.Mark shows how the Founding Fathers crafted the Constitution to help preserve individuals freedom and rights and to deliberatly give the Federal Government limited power and the reason to do so. Then he shows how the constitution has been riped apart, states power decimated, and individual freedom and rights taken away by the liberal agenda.
He then has a list of things we can do to take back our country out of liberal control.
For those that only watch the liberal slanted CNN, MSNBC,most of the networks and read only the liberal slanted newspapers like The New York Times here is a chance to expose yourelf to some ideas and facts that are never exposed to the public.Give yourself a chance to open your mind rather than be spoon fed the agenda liberal media wants you to believe.

Should be required reading just to be a citizen of The USA, no matter where you are born.
