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.
Vincent Bugliosi received his
law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County
District Attorney's office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out
of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions
without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles
Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter,
the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history.
Two of Bugliosi's other books -- And the Sea Will Tell
and Outrage -- also reached #1 on the New York Times
hardcover bestseller list. No other American true-crime
writer has ever had more than one book that achieved this
ranking. His latest book, Reclaiming History: The
Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, has been
heralded as "epic" and "a book for the ages."
Bugliosi has uncommonly
attained success in two separate and distinct fields, as an
author and a lawyer. His excellence as a trial lawyer is
best captured in the judgment of his peers. "Bugliosi is
as good a prosecutor as there ever was," Alan Dershowitz says.
F. Lee Bailey calls Bugliosi "the quintessential prosecutor."
"There is only one Vince Bugliosi. He's the best," says
Robert Tanenbaum, for years the top homicide prosecutor in the
Manhattan D.A.'s office. Most telling is the comment by
Gerry Spence, who squared off against Bugliosi in a
twenty-one-hour televised, scriptless "docu-trial" of Lee Harvey
Oswald, in which the original key witnesses to the Kennedy
assassination testified and were cross-examined. After the
Dallas jury returned a guilty verdict in Bugliosi's favor,
Spence said, "No other lawyer in America could have done what
Vince did in this case."
Bugliosi lives with his wife,
Gail, in Los Angeles.
