American Dynasty
There are many books dissing George W., but this one paints a conspiracy picture with such richness, that it's worth the read. Author Kevin Phillips pulls no punches apparently in his distaste for Bush, and the legacy of the Bushes. He tells the story of family that practiced a policy of secrecy, decit, and disinformation to get two generations elected to the top post in the US. From what the public faces of George W. Jr. and Sr., you will find it hard to believe that they could purposely have set out to accomplish what they did -- I, for one, credit a lot of it to just dumb luck.
