Russ Baker - Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, America's Invisible Government, and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years

Russ Baker - Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, America's
Invisible Government, and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty
Years
January 16

Russ Baker is the author of the 2008 book Family of Secrets that
probes the Bush family and alleges connections between President
George H.W. Bush and individuals involved with the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy and the Watergate scandal.

How did the deeply flawed George W. Bush ascend to the highest
office in the nation, what forces abetted his rise, and-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 and startling new
take on the Bush dynasty and the shadowy elite that has quietly
steered the American republic for the past half century and more.
Baker shows how this network of figures in intelligence, the
military, oil, and finance enabled-and 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 and Watergate. It includes an inside account of
George W.'s cynical religious conversion and the untold real
background to the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina. Baker's
narrative is gripping, sobering, and deeply sourced. It will change
the way we understand not just the Bush years, but a half century
of postwar history-and the present.
