The long-hidden story of a family we thought we knew--and of a
power-making apparatus that we have barely begun to comprehend.
After eight disastrous years, George W. Bush leaves office as
one of the most unpopular presidents in American history. Russ
Baker asks the question that lingers even as this benighted
administration winds down: Who really wanted this man at the helm
of the country, and why did his backers promote him despite his
obvious liabilities and limitations? This book goes deep behind the
scenes to deliver an arresting new look at George W. Bush, his
father George H. W. Bush, their family, and the network of figures
in intelligence, the military, finance, and oil who enabled the
family's rise to power. Baker's exhaustive investigation reveals a
remarkable clan whose hermetic secrecy and code of absolute loyalty
have concealed a far-reaching role in recent history that
transcends the Bush presidencies. Baker offers new insights into
lingering mysteries--from the death of John F. Kennedy to Richard
Nixon's downfall in Watergate. Here, too, are insider accounts of
the backroom strategizing, and outright deception, that resulted in
George W. Bush's electoral success. Throughout, Baker helps us
understand why we have not known these things before. "Family of
Secrets "combines compelling narrative with eye-opening
revelations. It offers the untold history of the machinations that
have shaped American politics over much of the last century.
