Product Description
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.

 Truth from a Great Legal Mind May 25, 2008

I had seen a pre-published version of this book and will now be buying it, as anyone with a sense of morality, ethics or patriotism MUST support its message, its conclusion and its brave author. I have all of Bugliosi's books, as he's one of the very few non-cowards writing in America today. He makes his case here, and to any rational mind (as opposed to the majority of the U.S. decision makers who pander to the marketplace of uninformed emotionalism), his conclusion is the only one possible or permissible in any civilized society -- which we in the U.S.A. (I don't say America, as Canada and the south Americas are generally more informed than we are on political matters), are every day becoming less qualified to call ourselves. This is an amazing book, full of unemotional wisdom, truth and common sense, and cannot be ignored by anyone interested in or passionate about the U.S. government.
The Imperial President Has No Clothes May 30, 2008

Vincent Bugliosi has written one of the most important books of 2008, clearly laying out the case against George Bush for lying our country into an illegal war and occupation of Iraq, and for deceiving the American people by creating the erroneous deception of linking Iraq to Al-Qaeda and the events of 9/11. There is no defense of the indefensible, and what George Bush and his co-conspirators have done to America is treasonous. May all Americans read this book, call for Bush, Cheney and Rice to be brought to justice, and help restore America's integrity and standing in the world. To do otherwise would be criminal. Thank you Vincent Bugliosi for writing this book.
A good start May 29, 2008

I just finished listening to the audio version of this book. While many of the facts did not come as "news", to hear everything together, in one concise story, makes for a very shocking, depressing experience, if a necessary one.
Read or Listen to the book. You can even double check the facts, and make up your own mind.
What I had not realized before is the moral dimension of Bush's responsibility as an individual, not only as president of the United States.

The book begins with Bugliosi's assertion that Bush has committed the most serious crime in American history - deliberately taking this country to war in Iraq under false pretenses. That crime is augmented by failing to provide troops with sufficient IED-strengthened vehicles and body armor, underfunding the military medical system (especially back in the U.S.), and short-changing troops on pay. Bugliosi is further angered by Bush's public insensitivity to military losses (eg, "giving up golf during the war," "talking about his little owie when visiting disabled veterans"), lack of curiosity, and repeated displays of stupidity (eg. an ignorance of geography that led to telling the Chinese premier during a St. Petersburg meeting that the premier was lucky to be "close to home" (actually an 8-hour flight - about the same as Bush's).
Bugliosi believes Bush deserves much more than impeachment and removal from office. He goes on to state that it is not necessary that Bush personally participated - vicarious liability arises from his leading a conspiracy (aka Charles Manson). In addition, Bush acted under reckless and wanton disregard for the consequences, and did so under false pretenses. However, he could be prosecuted only after leaving office.
The false pretenses attach to two issues - that Hussein did not present an "imminent" threat as implied, and Iraq was not working with Al Qaeda.
Is this all an academic exercise? I think not - Bugliosi also shows that every state has had soldiers killed in Iraq, thus providing an opportunity for 50 Attorneys General and any number of county prosecutors.
Finally, Bugliosi contends that the execution of the Iraq war couldn't have been worse - the previously referenced lack of planning and equipment, being caught totally flat-footed on 9/11, ignoring the Palestinian issue throughout his administration, opposing the 9/11 Commission's creation and impeding its work, and allowing Bin Laden to escape into Pakistan.
Bugliosi's credibility as a prosecutor is exemplary. Maybe he'll get the opportunity to prosecute Bush et al in 2009.
Bush is Pure Evil May 31, 2008

I doubt if those who gave this book one star actually read the book. But I read it. The opening chapters show a side of Bush that sickened me. Bugliosi clearly shows, with an abundance of evidence, that Bush really doesn't give a damn about our soldiers in Iraq, and that Bush spends ZERO time trying to get this conflict resolved. Bush is lazy, pure and simple. I doubt if Bush will ever spend one day in court being tried for murder, after he leaves office (if he leaves !). But this book is a beautifully written indictment an evil man. If nothing else, at least historians have another book to use to judge the Bush presidency in years to come.
