Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put it in the White House & What Their Influence Means for America
Overview
“Shocking in its disclosures, elegantly crafted, & faultlessly measured in its judgments.”—Roger Morris, author of Richard Milhous Nixon & Partners in Power
How did the deeply flawed George W. Bush ascend to the highest office in the nation, what forces abetted his rise, &-—perhaps most important—-have those forces really been vanquished by Obama’s election? Award-winning investigative journalist Russ Baker gives us the answers in Family of Secrets, a compelling & startling new take on the Bush dynasty & the shadowy elite that has quietly steered the American republic for the past half century & more. Baker shows how this network of figures in intelligence, the military, oil & finance enabled—-& in turn benefited handsomely from—-the Bushes’ perch at the highest levels of government. As Baker reveals, this deeply entrenched elite remains in power regardless of who sits in the Oval Office.
Family of Secrets offers countless disclosures that challenge the conventional accounts of such central events as the JFK assassination & Watergate. It includes an inside account of George W.’s cynical religious conversion & the untold real background to the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina. Baker’s narrative is gripping, sobering & deeply sourced. It will change the way we understand not just the Bush years, but a half century of postwar history & the present.
