A concise, accessible, and engaging guide to the crime of treason,
written by the nation's foremost expert on the subject Treason-the
only crime specifically defined in the United States
Constitution-is routinely described by judges as more heinous than
murder. Today, the term is regularly tossed around by politicians
and pundits on both sides of the aisle. But, as accusations of
treason flood the news cycle, it is not always clear what the crime
truly is, or when it should be prosecuted. Carlton F. W. Larson, a
scholar of constitutional law and legal history, takes us on a
journey to understand the many subtleties of the Constitution's
definition of treason. With examples ranging from the medieval
English Parliament to the accusations against Edward Snowden and
Donald Trump, Larson brings to life not only the most notorious
accused traitors, such as Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr, and World
War II's "Tokyo Rose," but also lesser-known figures, such as
Hipolito Salazar, the only person ever executed by the federal
government for treason, and Walter Allen, a labor union leader
convicted of treason against the state of West Virginia in the
early 1920s. Grounded in over two decades of research, On Treason
is an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to understand the
role of treason law in our constitutional democracy. With this
brisk, clear look at the law's history and meaning, Larson explains
who is actually guilty and when-and readers won't need a law degree
to understand why.
