Product Description:
Bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi has written the most important and thought-provoking book of his prolific career. In a meticulously researched and clearly presented legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial for murder after he leaves his presidency, Bugliosi delivers a searing indictment of the President and his administration.
With what he believes is overwhelming evidence that President Bush took the nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses--a war that has caused great loss of life, cost this nation close to $1 trillion, and alienated most of our allies in the Western world--Bugliosi argues that it is George W. Bush who must be held accountable for what Bugliosi considers to be monumental crimes.
In this groundbreaking book, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, presents a powerful case against the man in the oval office.

I picked this book up because I was familiar with Bugliosi's work and I am usually very impressed by it. Although I thought his position was a stretch, I was hoping for a well structured and stimulating argument. I was particularly hoping for a strong Constitutional argument supporting his thesis, since there are several glaring problems with the idea of prosecuting Bush (which he totally ignores). I was thoroughly disappointed. Although he had lots of factual evidence, it was totally lost in his childish outbursts. I was expecting a professional document (although I knew it wouldn't be impartial; how could it be?), but it was anything but. Bugliosi resorts to name calling not only Bush and his aides, but his readers as well. How can he expect anyone to take him seriously when he calls the rest of us stupid? I also got thouroughly sick of the self-agrandizement; yes he has had a very distinguished career, but this book is not the place to brag about his accomplishments. And his telling us that he was the only one who saw what a mistake the war was from the beginnig, among other things, was ridiculous. A huge part of the book seemed to be an inflation of his own ego. His message was thouroughly lost in the poor delivery. It is not worth reading; you will be very disappointed if you are hoping for a professional, intelligent, readable book. I had an hard time finishing; in the end I only finished to ensure that my negative review was fair.

A wonderful and insightful book. I'm curious, however, to know why Big Oil was not mentioned as a motive to go to war in Iraq. Also Sadam's attempt on George Bush, Sr.'s life.

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 wounded or killed in Iraq. Mr. Bugliosi seems to base his entire argument on the fact that President Bush lied to the public before engaging in the war. While I don't disagree with him, that does not make a case for murder. The President is the commander in chief who, unless there is something I am unaware of, has the authority to send the US military to fight. I don't recall his having to provide a reason that is suitable to all of us. That he lied to garner support does not make a case for murder.
I was hoping that, while making his case, Mr. Bugliosi would provide case law, cases in point, international law, the elements for the accused offenses, etc. I was greatly disappointed.

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, Mr. Bugliosi explains that Bush did not directly say that Hussein is an imminent threat, Mr. Bugliosi explains that Bush used other words that equate to the same meaning as Hussein being an imminent threat.
Mr. Bugliosi explains that 6 days before Bush had given this speech that Bush was informed by 16 intelligence agencies including the CIA that Hussein was not an imminent threat. Although, it does seem as if Bush lied, what happened within those 6 days? Although highly unlikely and remotely possible could something have transpired within those 6 days that could equate to Bush being candid when he had given that speech?
Mr. Bugliosi seems like a very good, wonderful, decent person. He is a brillant, rational, and logical person. A very deep person, analytical, strong minded and strong willed, book smart and street smart. He has a very high intellect level, very intellectual, and very well spoken, very articulate, very bold and very brave.

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.
