Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar is also a New York Times bestselling phenomenon: the author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court, Men in Black, and the deeply personal dog lover's memoir Rescuing Sprite, Mark R. Levin now delivers the book that characterizes both his devotion to his more than 5 million listeners and his love of our country and the legacy of our Founding Fathers: Liberty and Tyranny is Mark R. Levin's clarion call to conservative America, a new manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century.

In the face of the modern liberal assault on Constitution-based values, an attack that has steadily snowballed since President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in a federal government that is a massive, unaccountable conglomerate, the time for re-enforcing the intellectual and practical case for conservatism is now. Conservative beliefs in individual freedoms do in the end stand for liberty for all Americans, while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of civilized society -- in short, tyranny. Looking back to look to the future, Levin writes "conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are our founding principles." And in a series of powerful essays, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into every timely issue affecting our daily lives, from the economy to health care, global warming, immigration, and more -- and illustrates how change, as seen through the conservative lens, is always prudent, and always an enhancement to individual freedom.

As provocative, well-reasoned, robust, and informed as his on-air commentary, Levin's narrative will galvanize readers to begin a new era in conservative thinking and action. Liberty and Tyranny provides a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for revitalizing the conservative vision and ensuring the preservation of American society.

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.

Liberty and Tyranny is a great book it makes a great gift. Reading the book has helped me in my disscussions with young people that do not understand how unique America is and what it means to be American. Both Liberal and conservative readers will get alot out of this book. Most importantly is how small the differences are between the two (except for the kooks on the fringe). After reading this book,I think it fair to say if John Kennedy were in politics today he would be considered conservitave or certianly far right of center.

Rating: - Written by a HERO
The book was PURE COMMON SENSE. Very important read. I've even bought a copy for my fence-sitting parents. Mr. Wilkow would agree that Mr. Levin's arguments cannot be broken either. Reviewers giving 1 or 2 stars obviously have NOT read the book (some even admit to this), or are "hope-washed" and "change-washed". The Great One's book is sure to be the Statist Stain Remover. Virginia and NJ are harbingers of what's to come, and I feel L&T was a great influence. In NY23, a gentleman running purely on Conservative principle came within INCHES of upsetting the Democrat Statist endorsed by Obama and the Republican candidate (and by several degrees of seperation, NEWT GENGRICH as well??!!). The same story is playing out across the country. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL '10!

Beginning with the Wilson presidency nearly a full century ago, America has been moving further and further from the fundamental, core beliefs of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Now everyday that Congress and the Senate meets, our so-called representatives scheme and plot how to legally steal more and more of our Creator-given rights from us. Reread the Declaration. Reread the Constitution. LEARN what our Forefathers initially intended what powers the 3 branches were supposed to have, and how over the last 100 years or so the have voted to give themselves the authority to overstep those limits. Once you have read and understood our founding documents, read Mark's book to find out how we can get back to our core principles.
