Praise for Vincent Bugliosi’s #1 New York Times Bestseller, OUTRAGE “Bugliosi puts the blame where it belongs…His well-informed analysis is in welcome contrast to much of the insipid or pointless commentary about the Simpson trial.” —The New York Times Book Review “The best book that there will ever be on the case of People vs. Orenthal James Simpson. The best murder trial book I have ever read. A classic treatise on legal incompetence.” —Jim Agnew, Real Crime Book Digest “Provocative and entertaining…A powerful, damning diatribe on Simpson’s acquittal…The book’s high point is the rafter-rattling summation Bugliosi would have delivered had he prosecuted the case himself.” —People “Persuasive and brilliant…An astonishingly bitter and sensational book…Outrage should become an important textbook in every law school in America.” —Newsday (N.Y.) “Bugliosi’s book is the most compelling of the dozen or so [Simpson books] I have read.” —Los Angeles Daily News “When it comes to the Simpson murder trial, Bugliosi establishes himself as the expert…. He throws back the shabby curtain of the “trial of the century.”… Bugliosi offers us his own summation. This alone is worth the price of the book…. No one who reads this book will ever again believe that the most publicized acquittal in the history of the American jurisprudence was solely the result of juror prejudice or the machinations of unscrupulous defense attorneys. The D.A. and the prosecutors have been called before the bar of justice.” —Los Angeles Times “Blistering criticism…Bugliosi minces no words.” —San Francisco Chronicle “A mountain of books and articles has been written about the Simpson case. Because of Bugliosi’s experience and the compelling issues he raises, Outrage may well be the one to read…Both convincing and seething with anger.” —The Kansas City Star “No other criminal trial lawyer in the nation could provide such a compelling account of the O. J. Simpson murder trial…. This is the definitive work on the Simpson case.” —Ed Nowicki, American Crime Line “Seriously damning…the outspoken legal eagle pulls no punches.” —New York Post “A searing, exploding indictment of both the defense and the prosecution…the most forceful and encompassing account yet.” —The Neshoba Democrat (Philadelphia, Miss.) “Clarity and powerful marshaling of argument vault [Outrage] to the top of the Simpson stack [of books].” —The Wall Street Journal “Outrage is coolly and unflappably brilliant in its comprehensive sweep…. The book is the best of its kind I’ve ever read.” —The News-Commercial (Collins, Miss.) “Compelling and interesting…. You’ll have trouble putting it down…. The chapter on the final summation is worth the book’s price itself…. a page- turner…thrilling…memorable.” —The Calgary Sun “Overwhelmingly convincing…one can be sure, this is the best book that will ever be written on the O. J. Simpson murder trial.” —American Bar Association, Section of Litigation, Appellate Practice Journal “Bugliosi brilliantly makes a powerful case against O. J. Simpson.” —Alan Dershowitz, debate with Bugliosi on Larry King Live OTHER NONFICTION BOOKS BY VINCENT BUGLIOSI Helter Skelter (with Curt Gentry) Till Death Us Do Part (with Ken Hurwitz) And the Sea Will Tell (with Bruce Henderson) The Phoenix Solution: Getting Serious About Winning America’s Drug War Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F.
