Confirms US anti intellectualism whilst exposing I

This author likes to quote Churchill - without ever mentioning his continuous crimes - and this should set alarm bells ringing regardless of the patchy relevance this book might have. The author - trading on 'knowing more' - seems not to know that the US invaded Soviet Russia between 1918-1921 and China in 1900 and again in 1927! He perpetuates the myth of US exceptionalism whilst ignorantly asserting that people living in Socialist countries are oppressed! He stupidly refers to Joseph Stalin as being a Dictator but fails to state that he was elected into office on at least three separate occasions with the Russian people refusing to accept his resignation due to old age! People in China vote far more often and about far more things than people in the US - and the US has illegally invaded Cambodia during the Vietnam War! The author says nothing about the US military killing 20-30 million people around the globe since 1945 to present and has nothing to say about President Barack Obama's support for neo-Nazism in the Ukraine in 2014! Indeed, the level of all round ignorance he displays whilst engaged in revealing the ignorance of another American is breathtaking! As an example of an average American - he is indicative of the very reason people like Bush are elected and allowed to get away with the things that they do. This book is a monument to US anti intellectualism in all its many guises.

Hang them

Most excellent book, incredibly well researched and presented. Shame on the USA for voting this complete notright into power not just once but TWICE!! George Dubbya and Tony Bliar are response for the very unstable world we now inhabit and should both be put on trial for war crimes and not just murder. This book talks about the murder of 100000 people I think the figure is now closer to 2 million! Unforgivable

Fascinating

A detailed and fascinating account that leaves you in no doubt that the war in Iraq was illegal and that George W Bush lied to the American public and the rest of the world. He had a report from his own secret service stating their belief that there was no Immediate or present danger from Iran or Saddam Hussein and there were no links between Al Queda or Saddam's Ba'athist party. All the evidence exists to place George W Bush on trial for murder and I sincerely hope that it happens. Vincent Bugliosi has written what might be his most important book to date.

At last!!

At last someone has spoken out against that which we outside the USA could clearly see was a war crime.

Reading (listening to ) Mr. Bugliosi's words reminds strongly of the tactics used by Hitler to justify going to war as presented at the Nuremberg trials.

Bush needs to be face a war crimes tribunal for the same reasons that the Second World War left Europe in chaos and destruction. Bush has caused the destruction of a civilized society for no apparent reason other than the same motivation Hitler had...... because he wanted to.

When Bush gave his reasons for wanting to go to war against Iraq we in Europe and Africa could clearly see that his claims of WMD's were spurious. But for some reason the citizens of the USA seemed blind to this fact, despite the UN inspectors clearly and unambiguously stating this on an international platform. I was mortified when the war started despite this seemingly obvious fact. I could not believe that the nation that played such a prominent role in the Nuremberg trials could so obviously do exactly that for which they prosecuted the Nazis.

I thank Mr. Bugliosi for what he has made public and I pray that Mr. Bush will have his day in court.

Very Weak Argument and no Law

I was very disappointed with this book, I had been fascinated with his account of the Manson case, so I had some expectations. Firstly, he isn't arguing on points of Law - he does point out the code if you charged Bush in Washington compared to other states, but that's only a few sentences.

He thinks he is providing a strong case that could be picked up by a prosecutor in any state. I heard very lengthy emotional appeals, ad hominem attacks and not a lot else. I think that as former prosecutors and lawyers are discussing charging Trump every day, in news segments, we really get to see the codes, the arguments and the political struggle pared down. Unfortunately in this book there seems to be the expectation that unlike the author, the reader wouldn't 'get this ' kind of stuff and so the appeal to think of dead soldiers.

He then bizarrely starts castigating the modern world and even the attitude of soldiers - making an overly long, repetitive book depart from his own talking points.
