Description

"The original publisher received threats from Bush campaign lawyers, and saw their author discredited in public in October, 1999. They withdrew 88,000 copies from stores and promised to "burn" them. Soft Skull republished the book but ran into the mainstream media who took the bait laid for them and focused on Hatfield's 1988 felony conviction. A Texas lawsuit shut down distribution of Soft Skull Press's new edition of Fortunate Son in January, 2000.".
