A highly creditable expose of the US Deep State in general and the Bush family in particular.

Centering on George H. W. Bush, this is a highly recommended review of the hidden history of the Bush Family, replete with important but little known details, well referenced and lucid.

Origins

Russ Baker, a journalist, was interested in someone like George W. Bush, lacking in all the attributes one might expect from a US President could nevertheless be chosen for that position. His explorations lead him to the realisation that the father, George Bush Sr. has a far more complex history than was generally realised, and was one a key figure in understanding the post-war development of the USA.[1]

Before writing it, Baker says, he shied away from investigating certain controversial topics, wary of being labeled a nut or a crackpot. But now, "the gloves are off",[2] although in 2016 he commented that the story about John Hinckley's family connection to the Bush Family (and indeed, Neil Bush being scheduled to have dinner with Hinckley’s brother, Scott, the day after the shooting) was "story was so baffling and off-putting that... I.. did not mention it."[3]

Reception

Book, what book? As with Gary Webb's Dark Alliance, the book is a major embarrassment to the US establishment. Similarly, it is both hard hitting and very well researched and footnoted, citing hundreds of sources and key documents. A fairly similar strategy has been followed by the commercially-controlled media, has more or less ignored the book.

Dan Rather wrote termed it "a tour de force... [which] has made me rethink even those events I witnessed with my own eyes".
