This is the groundbreaking classic expose of the Bush family, cited by all that followed it, yet still unmatched. Exhaustively documented by intensive search of dozens of archives and months of interviews with government insiders, this biography digs up all the dirt - frightening, gory, hilarious - on the Bush dynasty: how the Bushes made their fortune building up Hitler and the Nazi war machine; Iran-Contra; Zapata's Watergate burglars; the Reagan shooting; the 'war hero' story; the secret government; 'Eugenic' population reduction plans; Kissinger, China, and genocide in the Third World; Luring Iraq to attack Kuwait; The Bush Leveraged Buyout Mob, theft of a nation; Jupiter Island, Skull and Bones, and other power bases. Essential reading as long as this Anglo-American oligarchy directs American politics, the "Unauthorised Biography" is a vivid X-ray of the presidential dynasty, and the private forces dominating both major political parties.

Editorial Reviews

Review

By far the best exposé of the way the US-UK governments have been taken over by rich, powerful families. -- S. Felton, Amazon.com, Jan. 2003

Incredibly well-referenced... You will quickly realize that this is not ancient history, but pertains to today's America. -- Al DeReu, keepgoing.org, Spring 2003

Massive, often revelatory research. --Kevin Phillips, American Dynasty, January 2004

About the Author

Webster Griffin Tarpley is an activist and historian best known for his George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography (1992), an underground classic. An expert on international terrorism with decades of experience, he directed the study Chi ha ucciso Aldo Moro? (Who Killed Aldo Moro?), which was commissioned by a member of the Italian government and published in Rome in 1978. He also co-authored American Leviathan: Administrative Fascism Under the Bush Regime (1991), which identified many tendencies which have become prominent today, and Surviving the Cataclysm (1999), an analysis of the world financial crisis. Against Oligarchy, a collection of his essays and speeches, appeared on the internet in 1996. He has appeared on CNN Crossfire, Charlie Rose, talk radio, and cable access television across North America.

Anton Chaitkin is an historian and investigative reporter. Chaitkin has written hundreds of articles on economic and political history and current affairs. His 1985 book Treason in America: from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman, documented the takeover of U.S. policy by "blue-bloods" from their family archives.

Like father like son: During the 1930's Chaitkin's father, a New York attorney and Jewish political activist, carried out a legal fight against Wall Street and London financiers propping up the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler in Germany, resulting in the indictment of Prescott Bush, father of U.S. President George Bush (Sr).

He is co-author of George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, which helped decide the 1992 election against Bush. He has collaborated with Lyndon LaRouche since 1966.

This book is amazing, and frightening

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

Wow. I can't believe I didn't read this when it first came out (1994), but perhaps I wasn't as much into knowing everything about my politicians back then. I did follow GHW Bush's career, but this book is amazing, and frightening. It is really well researched, documented, and in depth. Just confirms what I already thought I knew about the Bushes, and a whole lot more! I was especially struck by what I perceive to be the parallels between Poppy Bush's hyperthryroid-induced wildly erratic behavior during his term as President, and Donald Trump's behavior throughout his presidential campaign, and beyond.

This is an extremely information book on the Bush Dynasty. If you are into politics & want to know more about who is
actually behind the ruling government, then this book is worth the reading. Read with an open mind, too.

Eye opening

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2010

Tarpley was definitely first to write coherently and comprehensively about the Bush family legacy - at a time when Americans were scratching their heads trying to figure out how his son George W. could wind up in the presidency with so little experience running anything - much less the most powerful country in the world.

The author, like Russ Baker in his more recent book about the Bush family, stresses how extremely secretive Bush senior has been about his past - which as Tarpley points out is pretty typical for someone with an extensive history as a covert CIA (before he became CIA director in 1975).

Tarpley starts back with grandfather Prescott Bush and his Nazi connections and the initiation of three generations of Bushes into the secretive Skull and Bones society at Yale - a club for elite families that guarantees them a free pass to either Wall Street or high governmental positions. He goes onto describe the extremely secretive and compex CIA front Bush ran called Zapata Offshore - which according to its charter was an oil exploration and drilling company. However for some reason it seems to have been involved with the CIA overthrow of the democratically elected president of Guatemala in 1954 and other covert operations in Central America and Cuba. Zapata also had the misfortunate of having a lot of its SEC and government filings destroyed in a series of fires.

Tarpley also covers Irangate and evidence suggesting Bush himself was running Iran Contra.

There is a final chapter devoted to Bush senior's thyroid illness and the sense of the people around him that this explains a period of years (1988 until 1991 when he underwent treatment - he was president for most of this time) when he suffered from uncontrollable rages and extreme emotional volatility.

Who Controls the World?

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Who killed JFK?
Who created the CIA?
Who has been secretly and quietly amassing power and riches in the US throughout its brief history?
Who has been building the End Times Babylon Whore USA Empire?
The "Eastern Establishment" Skull and Bones Boys, Nazis, and the CIA, and they were right over the Hobe Sound bridge on Jupiter Island the whole time...
"The unique, bizarre setup on Jupiter Island began in 1931, following the merger of W.A. Harriman & Co. with the British-American firm Brown Brothers.
The reader will recall Mr. Samuel Pryor, the Merchant of Death. A partner with the Harrimans, Prescott Bush, George Walker and Nazi boss Fritz Thyssen in banking and shipping enterprises, Sam Pryor remained executive committee chairman of Remington Arms. In this period, the Nazi private armies (S.A. and S.S.) were supplied with American arms, most likely by Pryor and his company, as they moved to overthrow the German republic. Such gun-running as an instrument of national policy would later become notorious in the Iran-Contra affair."
"Now, Sam Pryor had had property around Hobe Sound, Florida, for some time. In 1931, Joseph and Permelia Pryor Reed bought the entirety of Jupiter Island.
This is a typically beautiful Atlantic coast barrier island, a half-mile wide and nine miles long. The middle of Jupiter Island lies just off Hobe Sound. The south bridge connects the island with the town of Jupiter, to the north of Palm Beach. It is about 90 minutes by auto from Miami today, a few minutes by helicopter."
The Center of Power is in Washington DC (and Jupiter Island)

THE source of information for the toilet family of America!

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is a must read for anyone who is curious about the roots of this outrageous group of people who have literally shredded this country in their 70+ years of power. Starting with Prescott Bush in the 40's and his stewardship of Union Bank, and following the family tree down, the facts, the research, and the text makes it undeniable: this family is the crime family of the millennium. Wake up, ignore the bot's posts on here who work for the right wing scream machine, and learn about this family of garbage. Then read Tarpley's other books. He is a gem for this country as a researcher, author, and speaker. Also check out his program on World Crisis Radio on GCN, or look for the link on Webster's site of Tarpley dot net. You will be the brighter for it. Spread the word and get his books!

A demonography

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2006

Verified Purchase

The authors explain the life and times of president G.Bush I as a man who is a major chess piece in the network of the mighty investment bank Brown Brothers Harriman and the freemason lodge `Skull and Bones'.

The authors sketch a dark picture of an oligarch in the Platonic sense: G. Bush as a scion of a wealthy patrician family, born to reign over the `democratic masses'.

Politically, G. Bush was implicated in the Iran-Contras scandal, the Panama and first Iraq invasions, the replacement of Formosa (Taiwan) by the PR of China (negotiating lucrative deals for his friends). He buried the investigation into the Hinckley (a brother of a friend of one of his sons) shooting of President Reagan.

Economically, he defended his friends in the Pennzoil-Texaco trial about the take-over of Getty Oil. He saved the NCBC (NationsBank) from bankruptcy by `massive favors and graft at the expense of the tax payer'. He relentlessly intervened on behalf of the oil cartels for their ground-tax privileges and oil depletion allowances. His war on drugs was only `rhetorical'.

Ideologically, the authors state that he sided with those propagating population control, eugenics, race science and the `inferiority' of the blacks.

Personally, they stress his mental instability and his `boundless lust for power'.

Original but important is their analysis of the Watergate scandal. For them it is a coup d'état, instrumental in laying the basis for an authoritarian-totalitarian regime, not less than a rearrangement of the dominant institutions of the US government in favor of the intelligence communities.

Nixon was dumped for his inability to manage the collapse of the dollar. However, as W. Engdahl explains in his magisterial book `A century of Wars', the subsequent oil crisis and the colossal oil price hike in 1973 catapulted the dollar and the US financial institutions again at the zenith of wealth power.

This extremely well researched book (no libel suit!) constitutes a major information source and a must read for all those interested in US history.

Bush is becoming history - his accomplishments are accomplished and in the past. This book shows just how much of a slave to his hidden masters he was. I inform myself with the book, but forgive me if I also use it to send myself to sleep of a restless night... ;-)
