From political insider and New York Times bestselling author Roger Stone, unofficial advisor to Donald Trump, and subject of the documentary Get Me Roger Stone comes a hard-hitting look at a ruthless and flawed political dynasty.Roger Stone smashes through the layers of lies and secrecy that have surrounded and protected our country’s most successful political dynasty for nearly two centuries. Here is a blistering indictment, exposing the true history and monumental hypocrisy of the Bushes. In Stone’s usual “go for the jugular” style, this is a no-holds-barred history of the Bush family, comprised of smug, entitled autocrats who both use and hide behind their famous name. They got a long-overdue taste of defeat and public humiliation when Jeb’s 2016 presidential bid went down in flames.Besides detailing the vast litany of Jeb’s misdeeds — including receiving a $4 million taxpayer bailout when his father was vice president as well as his startlingly-close alignment with supposed “enemy” Hillary Clinton — Stone travels back to Bush patriarchs Samuel and Prescott, right on through to presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush to weave an epic story of privilege, greed, corruption, drug profiteering, assassination, and lies. A new preface to this paperback edition features explosive information, including the family’s Machiavellian plan to propel Jeb’s son George Prescott Bush forward as the family’s next political contender. Chapters include:The Preppy Drug DealerJeb Bungles Immigration IssueThe S&L Scandal Benefits the BushesJeb’s Shady Partner, Fugitive Miguel RecareyHow Jeb Made His MoneyAn Indifference to EthicsRussians and Nazis Make Strange BedfellowsGeorge Herbert Walker Bush (aka “Poppy”)Recruited by the CIA?Bush and WatergateThe CIA in the ‘70sThe Iran-Contra QuagmireThe Pedophile NetworkGetting Started in the Family BusinessThe Bush Dynasty—Now and in the FutureAnd much more!The Bush Crime Family will have readers asking, “Why aren’t these people in prison?”
