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: 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.

Summary: Please actually do this, Mr Bugliosi
Comment: Last week I hear Rep John Conyers, Chair of House Judiciary Committee, give a speech about working with the Department of Justice to raise charges against the Bush Administration. He indicated a willingness to work with Mr. Bugliosi in actually following through with a domestic criminal prosecution of all the GOP officials who manufactured lies that lead to so many deaths.
Incidentally, many GOP officials (including Karl Rove, Rice, etc) may be prosecuted in the International Court of Human Rights, and the International War Crimes Court. After they become private citizens in January, they may be subject to arrest if they step foot outside US soil.
We need to stop pussy-footing around the cold hard fact that this party, and these individuals, are war criminals.
Mr Bugliosi, please actually help in the raising of charges and the prosecution of these people. We do not want our American history to be tarnished with the legacy of mass murdering war criminals. And you're the guy to do it! So much depends on this...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful and Frightening
Comment: In spite of the author's outstanding achievements and great evidentiary credibility, I am afraid the "Walking Dead" will stay dead.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Tremendous, patriotic, unsettling
Comment: This is the SINGLE BEST BOOK I have read in the last 10 years (the other contender is "Was The 2004 Election Stolen?" by Professor Steve Freeman and Joel Bleifuss), and every thinking, caring American owes it to themselves to read it. Vincent Bugliosi is a patriot of the highest order, and this book is a first-rate work of logic, reason, and integrity. Pay no attention to those reviewers who are panning this book--it's interesting to note that they never take on any of Bugliosi's arguments head-on (because they can't), but rather resort to name-calling and slander. Please do not miss reading this masterpiece.
