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.

Every American should read this book. It gives great insight into what true liberty is and how it is achieved. It also points out the pitfalls that lead to tyranny. If you ignore the sexist language, it's dead on in what it's saying.

This book is a must read. My favorite chapter is the one on the Environmentalists and global warming. He systematically and calmly picks the movement apart using remarkable, refutable logic and reason and backs everything he says up with footnote after footnote. This book is pure excellence from cover to cover.

LIBERTY AND TYRANNY by Mark Levin is the most intelligent, well-written, cogent articulation of conservatism in modern America. Levin blends history, politics, philosophy, economics and passion into a must-read book of the new decade.
Not since Reagan have conservative principles been so clearly and persuasively stated. Indeed, the voice of Reagan's weighty thoughtfulness, love of country, and conservative foundations, and simplicity of language echo deeply in this book.

In the second-best selling book of 2009 (Sarah Palin's Going Rogue was first) Mark Levin pulls off the difficult task of defining the conservative philosophy for contemporary American society. A constitutional lawyer who has studied American history and law his entire life, Levin uses the breadth of his impressive knowledge to weave a comprehensive and articulate philosophy for today's American conservative movement. While I think he usually comes across as mean-spirited and caustic on his popular ... Read More

Mark Levin's political position allows no shades of grey. You're either with him or against him; not a fair and balanced assessment of our present political environment.
