Editorial Review:
Famed Charles Manson prosecutor and three time #1 New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi has written the most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking book of his storied career.
In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses—a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world.
As a prosecutor who is dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, delivers a non-partisan argument, free from party lines and instead based upon hard facts and pure objectivity.
A searing indictment of the President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office.
Vincent Bugliosi calls for the United States of America to return to the great nation it once was and can be again. He believes the first step to achieving this goal is to bring those responsible for the war in Iraq to justice.

Customer Rating: Summary: THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W BUSH FOR MURDER Comment: EVERYONE, ALL AGES AND PEOPLE OF ALL POLITICAL BELIEFS(BE IT A DEM, PUPPY, OR INDEPENDENT) NEED TO READ THIS IF WE WANT TO LEARN FROM THE PAST AND MAKE THIS A BETTER COUNTRY. THESE MEN AND WOMAN NEED TO STAND TRIAL, LETS NOT SET BAD EXAMPLES FOR OUR CHILDREN. THEY NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THESE FAMILIES. PLEASE READ THIS AND PASS IT ON. Customer Rating: Summary: Haunting Comment: As soon as I tore this book out of the mailing pouch I started reading and could not put the book down. This author is one of the few Americans who will tell the truth and nothing but the truth no matter what. Most people fear for their lives and cower under pressure. The author is bold and honest. People who criticize him don't want the truth, they want to be told what they want to hear. Wake up America!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Review of The Prosecution -not good. Comment: I didnt particularly like the book even though i have no love for George Bush or his administration. I was hoping for a straightforward case being laid out about the crimes of Bush. Although there is that in this book Buglosi spends too much time attacking Bush. His approach would never be allowed in a court of law. Customer Rating: Summary: very biased Comment: When I heard the author speak, he admitted that his hatred for Bush colored his writing. While I also can't stand the man, his writing was so biased that I was not certain it was objective reporting. Customer Rating: Summary: excellent critique of administration's rationale for invasion. Comment: I know so many books are out there critiquing the administration on Iraq, but Bugliosi just obliterates the arguments the administration presented in justifying the Iraq war...from its dogmatic neocon certitude, to its being duped by Chalabi, to its establishing rogue intel services within the Pentagon and Cheney's office to spin the intel to its liking(when CIA, State Dep't intel refused to toe the administration line), to a discussion on the administration's reliance upon totally discredited "Curveball" second-hand testimony, to the bogus and forged Niger documents purporting to show Saddam intended to purchase uranium, to how the administration released an "unclassified" version of the classified NIE intel assessment on Iraq that EXCLUDED THE NUMEROUS DISSENTS to its conclusions(and which caused Senator Bob Graham, one of the few senators to read the ENTIRE classified report(not just the administration's disingenuous unclassified version)to conclude he could not vote to authorize military force on Iraq.
I was more impressed with Bugliosi's refutation of the arguments the administration utilized in ginning up this war, than with his arguments calling for Bush to be prosecuted for murder, altho it would be a horrible blight on our nation if Bush and company are not held accountable for this disaster.
As an independent, it is apparent Bugliosi comes at this from a liberal democrat perspective.
But even so, any American who cares for his nation cannot read Bugliosi's masterful dismantling of the arguments posed by the administration to justify this war without being totally enraged.
