The Impeachment of George W. Bush

A Practical Guide for Concerned Citizens



Elizabeth Holtzman and Cynthia L. Cooper
September 2006     ISBN: 156025940X


No one is better qualified to call for the impeachment of President George W. Bush than Elizabeth Holtzman, the former Congresswoman who was a vital member of the House Judiciary Committee during the historic impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon.

In The Impeachment of George W. Bush, Holtzman and her coauthor, acclaimed journalist Cynthia L. Cooper, have written a clear, lucid, and damning book that reveals why the 43rd president of the United States of America has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. Their passionate yet reasoned voices empower ordinary citizens to take action and remove President Bush from office.

What readers are saying

"Liz Holtzman's intelligence, courage, and tenacity resulted in the impeachment of one president. In The Impeachment of George W. Bush, she reminds us why we miss her so much in Congress, and she gives us the tools powerful enough to lead to the impeachment of another president, one much more harmful and destructive to the values of our democracy."

--Cindy Sheehan

"A well-organized brief for lay readers, arguing that Bush should be impeached for deception over the Iraq war, illegal wiretapping, condoning torture, reckless indifference to human life during Hurricane Katrina and in Iraq, and for the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame."

--Library Journal
