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.

Rating: - Quite a disappointment
When I selected this book I was hoping for a reasonable, logical, structured argument supporting the prosecution of George W. Bush for murder, as the title suggests! Adding to my hope was that the author is an attorney, a former prosecuting attorney, who, according to the jacket, is highly regarded among his colleagues.
Instead, this book was a hate filled emotion based argument against the policy of George W. Bush and Iraq. It could have been written by the family of any of our soldiers ... Read More
Rating: - A lot of questions for Mr. Bugliosi???????????????????
Hello:
This is a very good book, very interesting, logical, emotional and a well written book. Mr. Bugliosi goes into a lot of depth and detail in certain areas. Certain comments, examples and explanations are factual, accurate and are true. But certain other comments and explanations, I have some skepticism about.
Mr. Bugliosi states that Bush lied to millions of unexpecting Americans when Bush had given his speech and "implied" that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat. Although, ... Read More
Rating: - Awful, Don't Waste Your Money on This
I thought I was getting a well-reasoned argument by a seasoned prosecutor stating facts and building a clear case against GW.
That's not this book. I gave up reading it about 1/2 way through. It is nothing but a lot of ranting and raving and lots of opinion and no hard facts. A complete waste of time and money, don't buy it.

My future son-in-law, Kenny Rojas, was killed by an IED in Bayji,Iraq on October 29,2005. He was 21. I read a Stephen Spender poem at his closed-casket funeral.
His death destroyed his family and devastated ours. Believe me, there is NO ONE who would like to see George W. Bush prosecuted for murder more than I. Kenny's death was a direct result of the President's lies.
The title of Bugliosi's book--THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FOR MURDER--is astonishing. When I first saw the book at a Cheboygan, ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent exercise in advocacy
Mr. Bugliosi's book is in the best tradition of American trial lawyers. Trial lawyers are advocates who put their best case forward ignoring arguments to the contrary. Mr. Bugliosi skilfully blends his invective with an alluring mixture of criminal and civil legal concepts that sound persuasive to the nontechnical reader, particularly those who hate the president. The concept that "no man is above the law" is a beautiful, inspiring, sound byte, but to follow Mr. Bugliosi's practice of seeing what is plain, simply isn't ... Read More
