About This Item
This Book focuses on the Bush Family political dynasty. It begins with George Herbert Walker and Samuel P. Bush in the era of the First World War and continues the family's involvement with Yale University, intelligence and energy and their single-mindedness to gain political power. It then covers the Bush family involvement in the top political office in America, the presidency by George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Book has 395 pages and is listed as a "First Published" in the front credits page.
Synopsis
An acerbic, withering account of the ascent of the Bush family to the pinnacle of the American political and social elite and the implications of the dynasty's hold on power for democracy in America. With an unerring instinct for fakery and humbug,Phillips traces the convoluted trail of Bush mendacity through three generations. The picture he paints of a family willing to do ANYTHING to hold power and a country so craven as to vote for it is both very funny and completely dismaying in equal measure.
