«The Betrayal of America» is Vincent Bugliosi's essay on Bush v. Gore, published by Thunder's Mouth Press in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Bugliosi argues that the US Supreme Court's ruling of December 12, 2000 effectively handed the presidency to George W. Bush by resolving the Florida recount. The book examines the decision, the conduct of the justices and the interpretation of the Constitution, and contends that the ruling was a blow to democracy and to the right to vote.
Originally published in 2001, the text expands an article that appeared in The Nation magazine in February of that same year and includes forewords by Molly Ivins and Gerry Spence.
For readers with an interest in American politics, constitutional law and the 2000 election.
