Throwing the book, and a movie, at Bush
by Valerie Merians
Former President -- and future convict? -- George W. Bush
A United Press International wire story reports Vincent Bugliosi‘s book The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder has been made into a documentary film and is slated for US theatrical release this February, according to a release from NAFTC Studios.
Former prosecutor Bugliosi, author of blockbuster true-crime books such as Helter Skelter, And the Sea Will Tell, and Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, among others, is known for his under-the-radar bestsellers. The Betrayal of America: How the Supreme Court Undermined the Constitution and Chose Our President from Nation Books was a national bestseller, though it received very little media attention.
Bugliosi stars in the documentary, which presents his tight legal case to put George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq.
A trailer is available for viewing here.
Valerie Merians is the co-founder and co-publisher of Melville House.
