What if there was a fraud worse than Enron and no one did anything about it? In the book United States v. George W. Bush et. al. (Seven Stories Press), former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega brings her twenty-one years of experience and her passion for justice to the most important case of her career. The defendants are George W Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell. The crime is tricking the nation into war, or, in legal terms, conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Just as she did when she was a member of the Organized Crime Strike Force and Branch Chief of the San Jose U.S. Attorney’s Office, Ms. de la Vega spent months meticulously investigating, analyzing and organizing the evidence; she researched the law; and she drafted an indictment. Now — in this lively, accessible book — she presents the entire case to a grand jury. If the indictment and grand jury are both hypothetical, the facts are tragically real: over 3,000 American soldiers dead, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed, millions of Iraqis homeless and a cost of $350 billion and counting.
