Oh, get real. I read Sam Tannenbaums' "Whittaker Chambers" years ago. Ann is not plowing new ground and isn't nearly as exacting as Tannenbaum.

Ann is a shrew.

. . . and if Ann hadn't written Treason we would all now be discussing Whittaker Chambers. Yeah, right.

Ann takes on topics which the left thinks it has buried, and makes them topical. Much as Reagan, calling the Evil Empire evil, took away the patina of legitimacy which the Soviets thought had permanently been granted by FDR, Truman, et al.

She does it with strong documentation on the one hand, and sarcastic invective on the other. Strong documentation alone gives you--yawn--Whittaker Chambers. Sarcastic invective alone works--for a liberal. But while Hillary never even lets anyone ask the first question, a conservative gets asked the second question and had better have an answer.

And that's not the description of a "bombthrower."
