This book should be read, at least once, by every man, woman and child in America who want to acquire some background information on the influences that are currently shaping the policies of the US Government (under George W. Bush's watch) and thus the perception of America throughout the world. Eric Laurent's book is a fascinating read, and one that is always backed up with easily checkable facts for further investigation, on all the individuals who influence the Bush political machine and therefore the ultimate destiny of America. All the reader needs to do is join up the dots of the activities of Richard Mellon Scaife's Heritage Foundation, with the soundbites and reports from the Coors Foundation, Bradley Foundation, Hoover Institute, Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute, to realise they are all singing of the same 'hymn sheet'. And singing in one voice. And singing very, very loudley. Once the dots of the 'hymn sheet' have all been joined together, the reader, through Laurent's indepth research and precise analysis, is able to hear the main vocalists in the 'chior'; Elliot Abrams, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. And these 'chiorboys' do not sing with the voice of angels, no matter what Billy Graham's Christian faith would have the listner believe. If you are a Patriot, read this book as a matter of urgency, whether you intend to vote for Bush or not.

Once again, the thought that the power behind the throne ruled the biggest empire on Earth is proven. Since the beginning of the Bush administration, his government have being plagued with suspicious acusations of corruption, mismanagment, manipulation of information and public opinion, cuts in taxes, public programs and expenses and increising of military expenses with suspicious objectives but with clear consequences in a near future.

Mr. Laurent revealed the nexus between the Bush family and the oil business and how his family have being supported for generations by the republican extremists to gain control of the government and how they paid then back once instaled at White House. The list of the supporters goes from president of "prestigious" foundations, religious leaders, president of oil companies to the owners of the military industrial companies paid back with billionary contracts, loans, credits or strategic positions inside the administration to rule the destiny of United States and the rest of the world. Dangerous? Perhaps. Consequences? Many, a lot not even seeing, Irak as an example is enough to think about.
