This up-to-the-minute exposé provides a scrupulously researched and at times deeply alarming account of a president who risks permanently alienating America from the rest of the world. George W. Bush has established himself as one of the most powerful—and one of the most arrogant—of all American presidents. The sources of his power, which have remained shrouded in mystery since his disputed election, originate with fanatical ideologues, fundamentalist Christians, shady businessmen, and right-wing extremists to a degree that will surprise even the most hardened observer.

Escalofriante,

This review is from: El mundo secreto de Bush (Cronica Actual) (Paperback)
Una vez más se pone de manifiesto el pensamiento de que las grandes potencias son manipuladas por poderes ocultos. Desde el comienzo de la administración Bush, su gobierno ha estado plagado de sospechosas acusaciones de corrupción, manipulación de la información, abuso de poder, bruscos cortes a los presupuestos públicos y aumento del gasto militar sin lugar a duda sospechosos en sus objetivos pero claros en sus consecuencias a largo plazo.
Mr. Laurent nos revela en este libro los contactos de la familia Bush con el mundo de los negocios petroleros, de como estos se han apoyado en la estrema derecha republicana para ascender al poder y de que forma han reciprocado a estos una vez instalados en la Casa Blanca, una extrema derecha que va desde presidentes de "prestigiosas" fundaciones beneficas, lideres religiosos, compañías petroleras o del sector militar-industrial a los que han beneficiados con contratos, prestamos o puestos claves en el gobierno. ¿Peligroso? Tal vez. ¿Consecuencias? Muchas y aun por verse, solo el ejemplo de Irak da para pensar un buen rato.
