When it first came out I bought 3 copies, just to give away and get ahead of Hillary. While Ms. Coulter goes a little easy on McCarthy, she pretty much gets it right. I read Treason and understood completely what she was saying. I am reading Wm.Buckley's "The Readhunter" and in the first 50 pages or so, it looks like he is going to have close to the same take on McCarthy as Ms. Coulter does. I expect that Buckley will dock McCarthy a few points for delivery (e.g. Roy Cohn), but will agree that the message was essentially correct.
I am not too far into Buckley's book, and it may end differently than it appears in the early going, but one of Coulter's points is that Joe McCarthy was the Ken Starr of his day: Each did his job well, but his job was contra to the feelings of the elite, and each was and will be crucified in the press and history books on account of it. I expect that Buckley (who lived through the McCarthy era) will agree.
