Synopsis
Why was this book burned? What is in it that warrants censure?
J.H. Hatfield's Fortunate Son juxtaposes Bush's accomplishments as Governor of Texas with the specters of the Republican Presidential front-runner's past. Although charismatic, Bush has not been able to escape accusations of draft-dodging Vietnam and cocaine abuse. Fortunate Son provides the full research on these and other allegations, including anti-Semitism in the Bush Family and a possible connection to the BCCI Scandal.
Despite a spectacular thrashing in public, Author J.H. Hatfield has retracted nothing. He stands by his three sources that allege Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972.
Underneath heavy fire in the media, the former publisher panicked. But as Jenny Lyn Bader points out in The New York Times, "If he's merely a convicted felon...that doesn't preclude him from being a successful writer. Indeed, St. Martin's Press underestimates the forgiveness of the American people. People might not mind a former convict writing a book as long as the book is really good".
Fortunate Son was #30 on The New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction Best-Seller list. Reader responses on the web show Americans outraged at this title's suppression: some saying that this book has changed their vote, while others don't accept that a meticulous, fact-checking biographer should be "baby seal-clubbed" with allegations about his past.
Soft Skull reprints Fortunate Son to allow the voters to judge for themselves. We hope to prove that democracy can still exist despite the preferences of the privileged.
