Based on hours of unprecedented interviews with members of the Bush family, The Bushes tells the inside story of the unique dynasty at the heart of American power.
As well as laying out the secretive familyâs inner workings, this intimate and fascinating group portrait probes into such sensitive matters as their dealings in the oil business, George W.âs turbulent youth, and Jebâs likely run for the presidency in 2008.
In this first full-scale biography, Peter and Rochelle Schweizer insightfully explore the secrets of the Bushesâ rise from obscurity to unprecedented influence. The familyâs free-flowing, pragmatic, and opportunistic style consciously distinguishes them from previous political dynasties; they consider themselves the âun-Kennedys.â But with their abiding emphasis on loyalty and networking, the Bushesâ continuing success seems assuredâmaking this book essential reading for anyone who cares about Americaâs future.
