About this product
Product Information
THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL POLITICAL NOVEL IN AMERICA Following the worst terrorist attacks in American history on September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush pledged to bring those responsible to justice, especially the mastermind behind it all, Osama bin Laden. After failing to capture bin Laden in Afghanistan, George W. Bush shifted his attention and that of our country to Saddam Hussein and Iraq, neither of which had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks (as history has proven). Bush, Jr., wanted a war in Iraq, and with the help of others in his administration, he succeeded in waging one regardless of its price in human lives or expense to his country's treasury. George W. Bush's Iraq War lasted eight and a half years, killed tens of thousands of people, and cost the United States trillions of dollars. In Terry Jastrow's new novel, The Trial of George W. Bush, past evil deeds are exposed and reckoned with in a most unexpected way. At a time when America's political leadership has alienated itself from the rest of the world, the scales of justice respond in a trial at the International Criminal Court in which former President George W. Bush is accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This fascinating trial brings together eyewitness testimony from a former Secretary of State, the Commander of US Central Command who oversaw military operations, an American counterterrorism expert, and a female Iraqi blogger, who reads from the blogs she wrote while Bush's war was destroying her country. As the trial ends after weeks of contentious statements and nonstop coverage by an overzealous media, a captivated worldwide public awaits the determination of Bush's fate. Will he be found guilty or not? The surprising verdict is revealed in Terry Jastrow's new novel, The Trial of George W. Bush.

Terry Jastrow's masterpiece of realistic fiction will inspire some, anger others, and is sure to provoke water cooler conversation across our divided nation. Whatever your position on the legitimacy of the war in Iraq, this is a book you're going to want to read., Conflict, suspense, and an unpredictable reveal are brilliantly delivered in Terry Jastrow's break-out novel, The Trial of George W. Bush. It is a riveting and relevant philosophical must read played out at the International Criminal Court, which will ultimately make for a must watch multi-episode TV event., The Trial of George W. Bush takes a very clever and original premise and delivers on it. The novel presents the idea that presidents should be held criminally liable for the loss of lives in an unjust war. Though the book is fiction, it reads like fact. You are caught up in the events and the ethical dilemma they present. A rare novel that chews as much as it bites off-- and then some., Realistically, George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq will never lead to a war crimes trial. Yet by exploring this provocative 'what if' the considerably researched The Trial of George W. Bush is a thought-provoking read., Terry Jastrow's novel, The Trial of George W. Bush, is a highly efficacious exercise in using 'What If.' In this case, 'What If the International Criminal Court puts George W. Bush on trial at The Hague for war crimes connected to the war in Iraq?' If your initial response is, 'Never gonna happen, but an interesting idea,' then . . . you'll want to read the book., Not since A Few Good Men has the tension, consequences and gotcha moments of a take-no-prisoners trial been captured so expertly., Readers of both political and legal thrillers are in for a real treat with such a mix and its close attention to fictional and nonfiction detail and the kinds of ethical questions raised by high-level political decisions., I really liked The Trial of George W. Bush. This novel starts off strong and doesn't lose momentum for one moment., The way the book is written is extremely realistic. The reader will feel like he is in the courtroom. The tension is clear and even frightening at times. The trial leads to an unexpected conclusion that you will have to read to discover., Terry Jastrow's The Trial of George W. Bush is a masterful blend of fact and fiction. A powerful story that entertains and edifies. Can the president of the United States ultimately do whatever he wants? Was Bush's maverick decision to go to war with Iraq a foreshadowing of things to come? A perfect book for these unsettling times., Jastrow brings a true sense of drama to his subject matter - Bush and the Iraq War Crimes . . . Facts well brewed with fiction make this a controversial and enthralling new novel. Timely - and timeless - as we observe global incidents., The story is an interesting mix of both fact and fiction and the author does so very skillfully...Overall, I thought the book was fascinating and if you enjoy legal or political dramas I think you'll feel the same way. In the end, the story made me think, which is probably what the author's goal was in the first place., The plot of The Trial of George W. Bush by Terry Jastrow grabbed me from the start...Jastrow has done a remarkable job, and if the topic interests you, this is a must-read., If hindsight is 20/20, what is foresight? A question posed existentially in a fascinating new book, The Trial of George W. Bush, written by Terry Jastrow. While the prosecution has the advantage of hindsight, the defense is restricted to foresight, and the reader must reconcile the two. The question becomes, What would you have done given the same circumstances? It's a seductive question that makes the book a must-read. There is also a shock on the last page., This story is a great what if idea. What if Bush was held accountable for everything that happened when he invaded Iraq? Would he be found justified? Would he be sentenced? The possibilities are endless... a great concept., Terry Jastrow's terrific new novel, The Trial of George W. Bush, poses questions that need to be asked and debated. I won't stop thinking about it for weeks, maybe months. It is the must-read book of the summer., The Trial of George W. Bush is an honest and true page turner that engrosses you through nailbiting, high stakes courtroom entertainment while simultaneously capturing your intellect on some very big, universal questions. Big subject, big book . . . READ IT!, Those who will most appreciate The Trial of George W. Bush will be of two types: political partisans who believe that justice was not done in the Iraq War and those who enjoy legal procedurals., I find Terry Jastrow's novel so intriguing in that it reads like a nonfiction book. It's so well written and believable, I could hardly wait to find out what happens. I absolutely agree with all the wonderful comments the book is receiving. Clever as it is...are you sure this is fiction? So well done., Readers who like legal fiction would enjoy The Trial of George W. Bush. And the first chapter with the abduction would also appeal to those who like Tom Clancy novels., Terry Jastrow's debut novel - simultaneously fictional and historically compelling - pulsates a throbbing plot and quintessential questions of the criminality of the Iraq War. With precision and passion, rare intelligence and a journalistic integrity, The Trial of George W. Bush delivers Bush to The Hague's ICC (International Criminal Court) to be tried for war crimes. Fast and furious, The Trial of George W. Bush resonates as we realize that we do not have the freedom to attack other countries because we disagree with their form of government or we need their resources for our own benefit - or do we? Spectacular., [T]he trial itself is engrossing. The issues of weapons of mass destruction - and the failure to find any - are addressed, as are the unintended consequences of the war, that we are still dealing with today. Media reactions are credibly portrayed as well., Terry Jastrow's brilliant, biting novel is a must-read for anyone who cares about international peace, war crimes past and future, and how justice can be delivered in unexpected ways. If you think you know how this story ends, start reading now!

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
