Overview
The Bushes are the family nobody really knows, says Kevin Phillips. This popular lack of acquaintancenurtured by gauzy imagery of Maine summer cottages, gray-haired national grandmothers, July Fourth sparklers, and cowboy bootshas let national politics create a dynasticized presidency that would have horrified Americas founding fathers. They, after all, had led a revolution against a succession of royal Georges.In this devastating book, onetime Republican strategist Phillips reveals how four generations of Bushes have ascended the ladder of national power since World War One, becoming entrenched within the American establishmentYale, Wall Street, the Senate, the CIA, the vice presidency, and the presidencythrough a recurrent flair for old-boy networking, national security involvement, and political deception. By uncovering relationships and connecting facts with new clarity, Phillips comes to a stunning conclusion: The Bush family has systematically used its financial and social empireits aristocracyto gain the White House, thereby subverting the very core of American democracy. In their ambition, the Bushes ultimately reinvented themselves with brilliant timing, twisting and turning from silver spoon Yankees to born-again evangelical Texans. As Americaand the worldholds its breath for the 2004 presidential election, American Dynastyexplains how it happened and what it all means.
