About this title: This title provides the truth about George W. Bush: how he dodged the draft, was a mediocre student at Yale, lost a lot of other people's money in boom times in the Texas oil market, and was investigated by the SEC for insider trading. It is a life of special favours, cut corners and blurry values.

"Controversial look at George W. Bush's younger days and the allegatins of legal troubles covered up by his father. The author, Hatfield, commited suicide prior to the books publishing."
"Honestly, I thought this book would be better. It wasn't the writing that I didn't like, but with all the hype that surrounded this book, I thought it would include some really ground-breaking stuff. It doesn't really.
A little bit of this history: The original publisher decided not to sell the book after they had printed a number of copies. They went to the extreme step of destroying the books that they had printed already. Then the author was found dead and was presumed to have committed suicide. Then another publisher decided to publish the book."
"Notable more for what happened to the author and the book at the time of publication than for anything actually contained within the book. For those that don't like Bush there is plenty of red meat, there is also a huge credibility gap with the author. I will say that it can't be worse than most of the political hatchet jobs that have come out since.
I worked in the industry at the time of publication and the Bush family used their connections to get it pulled from the shelves and destroyed, it was later reissued by soft skull press. Check out the doc "Horns and Halos" for the whole sordid affair."
