On Treason is a history book by author Carlton F. W. Larson.
The only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution, treason is often described by judges as more heinous than murder. Today, the term is frequently thrown around by lawmakers and experts on both sides of the aisle. But as these heated accusations pervade the news cycle, it’s not always what treason really is or when it should be prosecuted.

Drawing on more than two decades of research, constitutional law, and legal history, scholar Carlton Larson takes us on a grand tour of the Treason Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Despite the Article’s apparent simplicity, Larson demonstrates that it is a form of constitutional quicksand in which clear intuitions are often far from the goal.

On Treason is an indispensable guide for anyone wanting to understand this fundamental aspect of our legal system. With a brief, accessible look at the history and implications of this law, Larson makes clear who’s really guilty – and listeners won’t need a law degree to understand why.
