Bush ascend to the highest office in \u003cbr\u003ethe nation, what forces abetted his rise, and-perhaps most \u003cbr\u003eimportant-have those forces really been vanquished by Obama's election? \u003cbr\u003eAward-winning investigative journalist Russ Baker gives us the answers \u003cbr\u003ein \u003ci\u003eFamily of Secrets\u003c\/i\u003e, a compelling and startling new take on the \u003cbr\u003eBush dynasty and the shadowy elite that has quietly steered the American\u003cbr\u003e republic for the past half century and more. Baker shows how this \u003cbr\u003enetwork of figures in intelligence, the military, oil, and finance \u003cbr\u003eenabled-and in turn benefited handsomely from-the Bushes' perch at the \u003cbr\u003ehighest levels of government. As Baker reveals, this deeply entrenched \u003cbr\u003eelite remains in power regardless of who sits in the Oval Office. \u003ci\u003eFamily of Secrets \u003c\/i\u003eoffers\u003cbr\u003e countless disclosures that challenge the conventional accounts of such \u003cbr\u003ecentral events as the JFK assassination and Watergate. It includes an \u003cbr\u003einside account of George W.'s cynical religious conversion and the \u003cbr\u003euntold real background to the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina. \u003cbr\u003eBaker's narrative is gripping, sobering, and deeply sourced. It will \u003cbr\u003echange the way we understand not just the Bush years, but a half century\u003cbr\u003e of postwar history-and the present.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138789622000,"sku":"9781608191925","price":17.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608191925_p0.jpg?v=1763835031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608191925","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
