American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune,
and the Politics of Deceit in the House of
Bush
Kevin Phillips
Description: From Borders Books & Music in
Washington, DC, former Republican White House
strategist Kevin Phillips discusses four
generations of the Bush family from World War I
through the current President George W. Bush.
He writes that the family's expertise has been in
intelligence, energy, and national security -- three
of the major enterprises of the twentieth century.
In addition, Phillips argues that the family
systematically used its social and financial
influence to gain the White House.
