Best Selling Books by Vincent Bugliosi

"A book for the ages." —Los Angeles Times Book Review Four Days in November is an extraordinarily exciting, precise, and definitive narrative of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald. It is drawn from Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a monumental and historic account of the event and all the conspiracy theories it spawned, by Vincent Bugliosi, legendary prosecutor of Charles Manson and author of Helter Skelter. For general readers, the carefully documented account presented in Four Days is utterly persuasive: Oswald did it and he acted alone.

The true story of the Manson murders.

During the course of American history, wrongful events have occurred and certain Americans have stood up and spoken out against these wrongs: Tom Paine, Edward R. Murrow, Daniel Ellsberg. Vincent Bugliosi takes his place in this special pantheon of patriots with his powerful, brilliant, and courageous expose of crime by the highest court in the land. When an article he wrote on this topic appeared in The Nation magazine in February 2001, it drew the largest outpouring of letters and e-mail in the magazine''s 136-year history, tapping a deep reservoir of outrage. The original article is now expanded, amended, and backed by amplifications, endnotes, and the relevant Supreme Court documents.

"Grips you by the throat from beginning to end."—Cleveland Plain Dealer ALONE WITH HER NEW HUSBAND on a tiny Pacific atoll, a young woman, combing the beach, finds an odd aluminum container washed up out of the lagoon, and beside it on the sand something glitters: a gold tooth in a scorched human skull. The investigation that follows uncovers an extraordinarily complex and puzzling true-crime story. Only Vincent Bugliosi, who recounted his successful prosecution of mass murderer Charles Manson in the bestseller Helter Skelter, was able to draw together the hundreds of conflicting details of the mystery and reconstruct what really happened when four people found hell in a tropical paradise. And the Sea Will Tell reconstructs the events and subsequent trial of a riveting true murder mystery, and probes into the dark heart of a serpentine scenario of death.

"Provocative and entertaining…A powerful and damning diatribe on Simpson’s acquittal." —People Here is the account of the O. J. Simpson case that no one dared to write, that no one else could write. In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Vincent Bugliosi, the famed prosecutor of Charles Manson and author of Helter Skelter, goes to the heart of the trial that divided the country and made a mockery of justice. He lays out the mountains of evidence; rebuts the defense; offers a thrilling summation; condemns the monumental blunders of the judge, the "Dream Team," and the media; and exposes, for the first time anywhere, the shocking incompetence of the prosecution.

The drug problem has reached epidemic levels in this country, with Americans spending approximately $50 billion a year to buy them. It is the most serious internal crisis we''ve faced since the Civil War. Until now, no book or document in America has set forth a detailed, step-by-step plan for solving the nation''s drug problem. The Phoenix Solution: Getting Serious About Winning America''s Drug War does just that. It is a controversial, breakthrough book. Written by Vincent Bugliosi, the nation''s foremost prosecutor, The Phoenix Solution offers not only a startling analysis of current drug policy but an actual blueprint for bringing the crisis to an end. Bugliosi takes a hard look at the common assumptions about drugs and drug control that are the basis of our national policy. In the process, he reveals some astonishing facts about the inept techniques that have been used to fight the war on drugs. Finally, he gets to the heart of this book: the revolutionary programs that we, as a nation, must adopt if we are to defeat this epidemic, which has already claimed millions of lives. Bugliosi outlines two separate, original approaches to drug control that promise to bring us victory within a year.

Vincent Bugliosi, whom many view as the nation''s foremost prosecutor, has successfully taken on, in court or on the pages of his books, the most notorious murderers of the last half century--Charles Manson, O.J. Simpson, and Lee Harvey Oswald. Now, in the most controversial book of his celebrated career, he turns his incomparable prosecutorial eye on the greatest target of all: God. In making his case for agnosticism, Bugliosi has very arguably written the most powerful indictment ever of God, organized religion, theism, and atheism. Theists will be left reeling by the commanding nature of Bugliosi''s extraordinary arguments against them. And, with his trademark incisive logic and devastating wit, he exposes the intellectual poverty of atheism and skewers its leading popularizers--Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Richard Dawkins. Joining a 2,000-year-old conversation which no one has contributed anything significant to for years, Bugliosi, in addition to destroying the all-important Christian argument of intelligent design, remarkably--yes, scarily--shakes the very foundations of Christianity by establishing that Jesus was not born of a virgin, and hence was not the son of God, that scripture in reality supports the notion of no free will, and that the immortality of the soul was a pure invention of Plato that Judaism and Christianity were forced to embrace because without it there is no life after death. Destined to be an all-time classic, Bugliosi''s Divinity of Doubt sets a new course amid the explosion of bestselling books on atheism and theism--the middle path of agnosticism. In recognizing the limits of what we know, Bugliosi demonstrates that agnosticism is he most intelligent and responsible position to take on the eternal question of God''s existence.

Im Sommer 1969 erschüttert eine Reihe bestialischer Morde Los Angeles und die USA. Sharon Tate, die schwangere Ehefrau von Roman Polanski, ist eines der sieben Opfer. Vincent Bugliosi war Leitender Staatsanwalt in diesem spektakulären Fall. In seinem meisterhaft geschriebenen Buch berichtet er, wie es ihm in minutiöser Detektivarbeit gelang, Charles Manson und seine ihm blind ergebene Hippie-Kommune für das Massaker hinter Gitter zu bringen. Die akribischen Ermittlungen, der komplexe Prozess, die kranke Weltanschauung, die Manson seinen Anhängern einflößte ... all dies macht diesen atemberaubend spannenden Weltbestseller aus.

El sábado 9 de agosto de 1969, tras una alerta de posible homicidio, tres agentes de policía acuden a la vivienda de la actriz Sharon Tate —la mujer del director de cine Roman Polanski, embarazada de ocho meses— situada en el 10050 de Cielo Drive, en el opulento barrio angelino de Bel Air. En la mansión, descubren los cuerpos salvajemente asesinados de la actriz y otras cuatro personas en lo que parece un crimen ritual. Al día siguiente, no muy lejos, en el barrio de Los Feliz, encuentran los cadáveres acuchillados del matrimonio Leno y Rosemary LaBianca. En el cuerpo de la mujer se identifican posteriormente cuarenta y una heridas de arma blanca. En tres puntos del domicilio, alguien ha dejado escrito, con la sangre de una de las víctimas, unas extrañas proclamas. La errática investigación que siguió a estos bestiales asesinatos —que al principio no se relacionaron entre sí, a pesar de las coincidencias— basculó entre la estupefacción y la impotencia. ¿Quién había cometido aquellas atrocidades? Y ¿por qué? Mientras los titulares de la prensa de toda Norteamérica alimentaban la conmoción y el estupor, y las especulaciones sobre los sospechosos y los móviles se sucedían, la investigación iría apuntando a un grupo de jóvenes que se había establecido en el árido entorno del rancho Spahn —un antiguo escenario natural de westerns al norte de Los Ángeles reconvertido en comuna hippy— liderados por Charles Manson —alias Jesucristo—, cuyo poder e influencia sobre el grupo —la Familia— llegarían al punto de lograr que mataran siguiendo sus oscuros designios. El autor de este clásico de la literatura criminal, el fiscal Vincent Bugliosi, tomó las riendas de uno de los casos más extensos e intrincados de la historia judicial norteamericana, y, además de relatar con una precisión y rigor deslumbrantes los pormenores de los crímenes y del proceso judicial que generaron, compuso un retrato portentoso y aterrador de la "Familia Manson" y de su líder, uno de los iconos más terribles y perdurables de la cultura popular. Tras cincuenta años de los infames asesinatos, presentamos la edición más completa del libro, que incluye un posfacio del propio Bugliosi de 1994 y una profusa selección de imágenes.
