The Bush Family: Portrait of the Most Powerful Family in the World

A senator, two governors, the head of the CIA, a vice president and two presidents - this is how the Bush dynasty grew over the past hundred years to become the most influential family in the history of American politics.

Kitty Kelley takes us through the rise of the Bush family in Ohio's steel industry, the oil deals and international cooperation patterns that increased their wealth and power.
The family had complex relationships with the twentieth century's power brokers - Eisenhower, Joseph McCarthy, Kissinger, Reagan and Clinton - and often used resources ruthlessly to strengthen its position.
In addition to the political careers of Prescott, George HW, Jeb and George W. Bush, the personal lives are also discussed: the matriarchs, the mistresses, the divorces, the jealousy, the hypocrisy, the child prodigies, the black sheep.
The Bush Family is a richly layered story of wealth, power and social class in America, with revealing political, personal and financial details.
At a pivotal moment in our history, Kitty Kelley tells the story of the family that, perhaps more than any other, defined America's role in the world.
The Bushes wouldn't let us read this book. This is The Bush Family.
