Product Description
This is the groundbreaking classic expose of the Bush family, cited by all that followed it, yet still unmatched. Exhaustively documented by intensive search of dozens of archives and months of interviews with government insiders, this biography digs up all the dirt frightening, gory, hilarious on the Bush dynasty: How the Bushes made their fortune building up Hitler and the Nazi war machine ~ Iran-Contra ~ Zapatas Watergate burglars ~ The Reagan shooting ~ The "war hero" story ~ The secret government ~ "Eugenic" population reduction plans ~ Kissinger, China, and genocide in the Third World ~ Luring Iraq to attack Kuwait ~ The Bush Leveraged Buyout Mob, theft of a nation ~ Jupiter Island, Skull and Bones, and other power bases. Essential reading as long as this Anglo-American oligarchy directs American politics, the Unauthorized Biography is a vivid X-ray of the presidential dynasty, and the private forces dominating both major political parties.

One of the scarriest books I've ever read. Almost hard to believe that people can be so calculating.
Predicted in 1991, that Jr. Would win the 2000 election and would be an unmitigated disaster. April 19, 2008

For me this is the fourth book I have completed on the Bush dynasty. Unlike the others, this one is not gossipy or filled with innuendoes and salacious half-truths strung together to entice the reader: This is a full-bodied history, well researched and documented, and backed up with "real facts." Since the authors are loosely affiliated with, or at least sympathetic to the Lyndon La Rouche cause, I made a conscious agreement with myself to keep my "crap detection system" in "wide open alert mode," and to "declare foul" at the first sign of "manufactured anti-Bush" unsubstantiated facts.
I have now reached the end of the book and cannot say that I have found anything beyond a slight disagreement with the guilt by association arising in the case of the Union Banking Corporation's Hitler Project. It seems to me that Bush's father was more or less operating under the rules of the Versailles Treaty then in force: as a kind of silent "overseer" of a Harriman caretaking operation. The Bush connection to Nazism was thus more a product of these arrangements than due to some sinister ideological and Fascist motive, which is often erroneously left hanging in the air. U.S. and British partnerships with Germans were more the rule than the exception due to these WW-I Treaty restrictions. And this was true well into Hitler's administration. In fact, many of the actions the government took against these "shared corporations" under the Enemy's Act of 1942, specifically indicated that seizures were only of the "Nazi interests," often leaving the U.S. partners free to carry on business as usual. Except for this, and the fact that the rules of business morality generally seemed to have been more relaxed with wider opportunities for graft in the milieu of the last generation of "wheeling-and-dealing," there is little to question here.
The book pretty much confirms the facts found in other books, but here the authors have done so at a much cleaner, more professional, and in my personal view, on a much higher level. Needless to say, I am impressed with the scholarship of the author's work. The book is all the more devastating because these authors have gone well beyond the cover stories; have provided context as appropriate, have not relied on the normal and very much available anti-Bush claptrap; and have additionally done their own independent research and investigations, often from scratch.
The authors story about Bush I, goes as follows:
George W. Bush (Bush I), like the other Bush brothers and sons, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bush oligarchy, started by his maternal grandfather and uncle, George Herbert Walker, and George Herbert Walker, Jr., and Senator from Connecticut, Prescott Bush (George's father). The epicenter of the oligarchy has always been, and remains the banking business, in particular the Wall Street international investment bank of Brown Brothers Harriman. According to these authors (as well as all the others I have read), this bank remains the "Bush family firm" in the deepest sense of that phrase.
The power of this bank and its ubiquitous network reaches both across the globe and across time. In particular, its connections to the British oligarchy, to Henry Kissinger Enterprises, to Israeli and Zionists circles, to Texas oilmen, and to the Saudi and Kuwaiti Royal families are well known. What is not so well known, is how these connections conspire to control, and in many cases to undermine U.S. economic and national security interests. In this regard the author points out that: "It will be noted that Bush has succeeded in proportion as the country has failed, and that Bush's advancement has proceeded pari passu (in tandem with) with the degradation of the national stage upon which he has operated and which he has come to dominate."
The key to the story, according to these authors is Bush's amoral and compliant personality and willingness to bend the rules to serve those higher up the economic food chain, and family interests over U.S. national and economic interests. As he notes: "The reader will search in vain for strong, principled commitments in George Bush's personality; the most that will be found is a series of obsessions, of which the most durable are race, vanity, personal ambition, and settling scores with adversaries."
Anyone doubting the seriousness of this book will be quickly disavowed of that notion from reading the prediction on its first page in which as early as 1991, when it went to press, predicted that GW Jr. would win the presidency and that his reign would be another unmitigated disaster for the U.S. That alone is worth five stars.

Great book for reference. Bibliography checks out nice. Book is good at seperating the facts from the fiction concerning the Bush Family, as well as others. Definately a must have for all those concerned with current affairs and America's future. Don't let "unauthorized" in the title discourage you, this is the REAL biography, not the propaganda puke which is regurgitated by mainstream media and press...

Amazingly accurate and well researched, this book will provide the reader with a fascinating view of "41", and the depths of the Bush influence in American politics. This is revelatory reading. Remember, Poppy is merely prologue for Dubya. These are dangerous people.
