The tale of the Bechtel family dynasty is a classic American
business story. It begins with Warren A. Bechtel, who led a
consortium that constructed the Hoover Dam. From that auspicious
start, the family and its eponymous company would go on to "build
the world," from the construction of airports in Hong Kong and
Doha, to pipelines and tunnels in Alaska and Europe, to mining and
energy operations around the globe. Today Bechtel is one of the
largest privately held corporations in the world, enriched and
empowered by a long history of government contracts and the
privatization of public works, made possible by an unprecedented
revolving door between its San Francisco headquarters and
Washington. Bechtel executives John McCone, Caspar Weinberger, and
George P. Shultz segued from leadership at the company to positions
as Director of the CIA, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of
State, respectively. Like all stories of empire building, the rise
of Bechtel presents a complex and riveting narrative. In The
Profiteers, Sally Denton, exposes Bechtel's secret world and one of
the biggest business and political stories of our time.
