Item 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.

Foundation conservatism
2009-05-04
Reviewer: J. Olson
Levin makes the case for liberty based on the foundation laid by the Founding Fathers. He weaves the historical framework throughout his analysis of the current climate and decline of freedom in the country. It is an oustanding read.

Reviewer: JohnnyT
In the pages of Liberty and Tyranny, Mark manages to clearly and succinctly describe my own feelings of the importance of conservatism and liberty, but could never quite put into words. I just "knew" the current direction of our country is wrong, but didn't have the foundational understanding to explain WHY it is wrong. Liberty and Tyranny spends the majority of its time (before presenting the Manifesto) explaining these foundational truths and had me repeatedly exclaiming, "EXACTLY!" and "OF COURSE, THAT'S WHY!". The end result of reading this book was that it strengthened and filled in the missing pieces of my conservative worldview.
Should be required reading

Reviewer: Paul Early
This book should be required reading in every school in America but it's a shame that the school systems would never allow it through the front doors.
Mark has an exceptional mind and this book demonstrates that very well. Where are the people like this when it comes to running for political office.
Liberty & Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto

Reviewer: Joe De Vito
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I'm getting ready to go back and read it a second time. It's a good resource and have already used info from the environment chapter for a TV interview.
It's timely, gives you a detailed description where the USA is heading unless challenges are made to this present administration.
