Publisher's summary

Best-selling 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.

Well argued, insightful and thought provoking!

This book is a must-read to all consciencious Americans, and students of logical thinking.

Bugliosi has built a tight, fact-based case against a criminal President.

The well-researched information provided in this book, supported by Bugliosi's experience as a successful prosecutor, helps elevate an average reader to the level of a critical observer.

I find my own evaluation and thinking (or lack thereof) of events post Sept 11 being challenged, and challenged well.

The audio is an interesting listen. The narrator does a great job presenting material. Not a moment of boredom.

Very disappointing

Bugliosi gained a lot of cred in my mind, with 'Helter Skelter' and even more so 'Reclaiming History..'. So I had high hopes for what I felt was a well-deserved reckoning for the father of the nightmare this country had to endure for the last 8 years and the aftermath from which we now have to resurrect our country's moral compass, for ourselves and in the eyes of the rest of the world. I expected a cool, concise and most of all convincing justification for such an audacious title - along the lines of 'Reclaiming History..'. This, however was way too much of an emotional rant; a rambling and sputtering gripe-session, so biased, and often distracted by irrelevant details, as to actually detract from the meaningful, and critical material that's being laid out. This was more like listening to a kind of bizarro Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter (and Cashman's subtle impersonation of Bush when reading his quotes doesn't help much in this regard). I'm glad he wrote it, but wish his publisher had held him to a higher standard, telling him to turn down the bile, and steering him away from issues like academy award-winning rap songs, sexual promiscuity amongst the younger generation, or chronicling Bush's 'happiness' in casual press conferences. Bugliosi's anger is justifiable; his base premise is spot-on. But the curmudgeonly background noise and judgmental tangents he slogs through have unwittingly framed them as the bitter rantings of a pissed-off grandfather talking about 'kids these days'. Criticism aside, I admire his courage, and still think there is a fundamental need for true justice and reconciliation if America to right itself. To that end and in the spirit of 'Prosecution' I highly recommend reading Scott Horton's essay in Harper's Dec '08: Justice after Bush: Prosecuting an outlaw administration.
I generally like your work Mr. B, but this one needs a serious makeover to achieve its ambitions.

Guilty as Charged!

I could have lived without the petty Bush bashing in the first three chapters. But Chapter 4 is a must read. The Bush administration's blatant manipulation of intelligence to scare us into war is criminal, and should be prosecuted. Wake up America. The King is NOT above the law, and must be prosecuted.

Frighteningly Excellent

This book is brilliantly written and demands action. For too long I have felt like I must be the only one who cares about all the lawbreaking and murders committed by this administration. Thank goodness for Bugliosi!

Breathtakingly bad

I kept waiting for the book to get better but I can't take any more. No new material, just Buglosi's inflated ego. Bad doesn't do justice to just how wretched this book is.

Disappointed

I have read several of Bugliosi's prior books, all of which I have enjoyed. I was very disappointed by this book. I thought it might be a thoughtful look at whether the actions of Bush amounted to war crimes. Instead it is a personal attack on Bush (not for his policies but whether he loves America, calling him names, attacking his mother's character, whether he was personally distressed by the thousands of deaths in Iraq, whether he was on vacation too much). I only made it through the first couple of hours but during that part of the book, another theme was how much more hard working he was than Bush. The point isn't whether Bush is a patriot, a coward or lazy but whether his policies were based on truth, sound intelligence or political ends over all else. Anyone hoping for kind of serious thorough analysis of the facts that support or rebut suggestions that Bush's actions were criminal or just very ill advised but well intentioned should not waste their time on this book.

Hung Jury

This heart of this book is contained primarily in chapter two, where the details of such a prosecution are revealed. This chapter is worth listening to in order to see how a prosecutor would question the witness, George W. Bush.

However, the rest of the book, chapter one and three, while largely valid, is composed of the author's rants which undermine the impact of his thesus.

That is, if we are to believe that a prosecution of any citizen is a non-partisan attempt to seek justice, why would we trust a prosecutorial perspective that blatantly reveals such personal bias against the defendant.

It seems that there are two books here, one titled "The Cross Examination of George W. Bush" and "I Hate Bush and So Should You."

I have no love for Bush, but this is not the legalistic, academic approach that I anticipated when purchasing this audio book.

Disappointed

Premise of book could have been interesting, but author killed it with Quote and End Quote notations. Senile or as looney as Charlie Manson.
Of 30 plus downloads I've done from Audible -- this was the first loser.

Even I am not this far left!

Although I am sure that George Bush is as stupid and guilty as Bugliosi claims, he is way over the top in the way in which he presents his "case" for a guilty verdict. He makes assumptions that are just not supportable in a court of law and uses "evidence" that is not evidence at all and most of which would be thrown out as hearsay. I, too, became very tired of the word "quote" all the time and feel that the reader felt that we could not tell what and was not a quote. The case against Bush is so far over the top that even I - a die hard liberal straight from the 60's - cannot agree with the premise as presented or the action which Bugliosi urges.
George junior is indeed a person who has lied to the public to get his way. But the testimony he might give in court is incredibly twisted and presumes that a defense attorney would not be able to stop such questioning in a criminal trial. If Bugliosi handled his own trials in this way, I am surprised that he was able to obtain the number of guilty verdicts he claims.

Even if you liked his other books, and I did, DO NOT BUY THIS ONE!

Thank you Mr. Bugliosi

In addition to the case against Bush, Bugiosi details how people can be lulled into complacency by a national press that doesnt want to work very hard, and doesnt want to ask the difficult questions. The bigger the lie, the easier it is to sell. Even when the truth is obvious, Americans subconciously fill in the blanks with what the president wants us to think. The grand illusion was teaching us to fool ourselves. For example, if WMD was the reason to invade Iraq, Iran all along has been building a nuclear program and they make no bones about the fact they wish to blow Israel off the map. What about those WMD's?? It will take years for most American people to come to the realization of the depth of Bush's ineptitude, carelessness and depravity, because we are trained to think the president isnt like that, so we build up an artificial image in our own minds.
