Unfit Commander: Texans for Truth Take on George W. Bush

(available October 11th)

Interest in George W. Bush’s military service has reached a fever pitch in the 2004 race, given Bush’s posture as a “war president” whose character and military readiness purport to trump John Kerry’s. Under pressure from the press and a series of FOIA requests and lawsuits, in early 2004 the White House authorized the Pentagon to release roughly 400 pages of documents related to Bush’s service. The White House claimed that they were making every known record available—yet their release was full of duplications and apparent omissions, and over the ensuing months, continuing pressure led to further releases including Bush’s payroll records, flight logs, and more. As late as September 2004, documents were still being unearthed by the military and posted on its Web site for public consumption. And yet they have never been presented in organized, sequenced, and annotated form, allowing the public to see them for themselves and grasp their meaning--until now.

UNFIT COMMANDER presents the paper trail of George W. Bush’s checkered service in the Texas Air National Guard: every known document that has been made available from Bush’s service records—more than 300 pages in all—presented in sequence and accompanied by an illuminating guide to the most revealing records...and the testimony of others who challenge Bush’s version of events, including Bob Mintz of Texans for Truth...
