Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen

For the first time, the most secretive and powerful dynasty in American history has all of its secrets revealed. Over the past one hundred years, the Bush family have made millions of dollars, dominated the US government, and created a legacy unlike any other American family. Prescott Bush was a two-time Senator from Connecticut who had the ear of Dwight D. Eisenhower and tangled with Joe McCarthy. His son, George H. W. was a congressman, the head of the CIA, Vice-President under Ronald Reagan and then the 41st President of the United States. One of his sons, Jeb, is governor of Florida and almost certainly a future presidential candidate. The eldest son, George W., is the 43rd president - possibly the most polarizing and controversial head of state in American history. How did these men - backed and often controlled by strong and single-minded women - rise to power? How did they maneuver their way from Yale and the secretive Skull and Bones through back door politics, the CIA, and the White House to have so much control over international politics? The answers are startling.

Du har vel hørt uttrykket? Ting man ikke vet hvor kommer fra, eller kanskje heller ikke vet hvordan man endte opp med det… Disse bøkene har jeg fått, men reisen deres mellom forlaget og det at et familiemedlem sto med dem i en bærepose på trappa hos meg med andre fingeren på ringeklokka, nei, se det, vet jeg lite om… Altså, "datt av en lastebil", herved forklart.
