Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President Reviews

  • Maginot

    Like many readers, I expected "Fortunate Son" to provide a shocking exposé of George W. Bush. While, author J.H. Hatfield provides powerful evidence that George W. Bush committed at least two felonies (he was busted for cocaine possession, and he was absent without leave

  • David A. Bede

    I put off reading this book for a long time, thanks to the questions we all had about Hatfield's integrity and the credibility of his charges against the Accidental President. This newly updated and better annotated edition put these concerns to rest, and although it's not

    After J.H. Hatfield's book on George W. Bush and family had reached The New York Times bestseller list before its initial run, publisher St. Martin's Press announced that it was withdrawing publication. George Bush I was seen on national television and snarling that the

  • Pen Name?

    There has been a lot of debate already on this book, so I won't go into much detail. It is the most broad scoped, in depth anti Bush book out there. Why is it that so many of the allegations made in this book have escaped public scrutiny? Why did so many Texas
