Rating:  Summary: Fiction at its Worst Review: I always like to read books that get in a few digs at republicans or any President for that matter. Picking this book up I thought that it would be a nice set of facts and some interesting bits about Bush 1's life. What I got was a book so full of hate for the former President that about 5 pages into the book I started to question almost every comment and section. The authors start with claiming he was a Nazi supporter, then lead a campaign to sterilize poor kids, was involved in the Bay of Pigs, the Kennedy assassination and Watergate. How he had the time and energy to be involved in Iran / Contra is beyond me. It was not enough to claim Bush was involved in these items, the authors never missed an opportunity to get in nasty comments. The full range of derogatory adjectives was used in the book; the authors really gave their thesaurus a work out. Each time Bush's name came up it was accompanied by an unfounded or unsubstantiated dig for example "Bush had never seen an opportunity for genocide he did not like."Because of the level of hatred and bile in the book, any real negative or scandalous items are lost in the barrage of charges. Let me say again that I am no big fan of the President Bush, but after reading this attack book I find myself thinking the guy is getting a bad rap. This nastiness would have made the anti Clinton book authors proud at the level of venom. I kept reading just to see what was next, what could the authors blame on Bush next, the sinking of the Titanic, the floods of 1993? Overall if you are looking for a fair book shy away from this one. If you hate the first Bush then this book will make you smile all day long.

Rating:  Summary: Yes There are Really Conspiracies! Review: If it walks like a conspiracy, talks like a conspiracy, and acts like a conspiracy, it is very possible that we might have a conspiracy. The apologists of the status quo, particularly the Bushies and the corporate establishment to which they are beholden, seek to ridicule books like this and say they are all part of an absurd conspiracy syndrome. What they fervently hope is that you will not dare read them. Had enough Americans read this sizzler it is entirely possible that Bush Junior's forces may not have been close enough on election night to remain within stealing distance of the presidential election, finally achieved through the legal prostitution of Federal Society cronies, including one subservient Uncle Tom with a penchant for Rush Limbaugh, namely Clarence Thomas. When you read this book you wonder long and hard about whether this was really such an unfortunate coincidence that Bush Sr. in his mudslinging 1988 campaign had ardent Nazis working in his minorities division. It was only when Congressman Stephen Solarz and others sniffed the foul odor and rose up in indignation that the elder Bush expressed dismay and dismissed the miscreants, expressing shock in the process. Just rewind from 1988 to Tarpley's analysis of how the Bush family got rolling in the banking business, with juicy contracts with the Nazis and strengthening of the Third Reich war machine through loans and subsequent sales for pig iron. Then there was that strange society that still remains, and which Poppy and Junior both belonged to at Yale, along with William F. Buckley Jr., "Skull and Bones." Just a few harmless fraternity pranksters? I doubt it. Check out the records of the members through the years and observe all the hellish havoc they have reeked on America and throughout various portions of the world. It all happened by accident? Hardly. Yes, well, it might actually be a conspiracy! But conspiracies don't exist. Ask any loyal Bushie. This book has become an underground classic and rightfully so. Its author knows literally where certain bodies are buried vis-a-vis the Bush clan and is not afraid to reveal the facts. Thank God there are a few people out there like Tapley who will not be intimidated and continue to speak the truth no matter what the potential consequences might be.

Rating:  Summary: And the cocaine abuse was only the least of their flaws! Review: The Bush family has spent millions projecting an image of 'down home' folks whose only concerns are 'faith' and 'family'. It's a pretty picture, but the authors of this book affirm that it is only an image. They are wolves in sheep clothing.
Since the days of their association with Hitler, the Bush family is only interested in power. However they get it and however they can keep it is the only thing which really matters to these people. Their obligatory talks about 'morals'...etc are just put in to give the illusion of caring about democracy. If they had their own way, the Bush family would have all of us living under a dictatorship.
This book is vastly different from most of the anti-Bush texts which flood the market. It eschews cheap shots to instead bring serious evidence against America's reigning monarchy. It also explains how Junior's 'bumblings' are only the more public versions of what daddy did dating back from his job as CIA head. Insteaad of being embarassed...etc the Bush family is actually proud of his actions!
Rating:  Summary: A MUST Read: To Understand the Danger America Faces Review: The Bush political machine is cranked up again. The new world order man, and former head of the CIA is at it again for 2000. Now is a good time for americans to turn off the television and pick up this, or any other good book.
Rating:  Summary: "American Caligula" -- the book that sank Sir George Review: This Book exposes the deeply disturbing legacy left us and our children by those who are motivated only by greed and power. Among other horrendous acts of treason, it tells of the sequence of shameful events carried-out by New York and London banking firms that inevitably leads to the rise of Hitler's Nazi Germany. This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone wishing to learn U.S. history as it actually happened and not as it is being taught in public schools!!!
Rating:  Summary: Incredible expose' of 20th Cent. oligarchy; too opinionated Review: This unauthorized biography of the Bush family, really the Bush-Harriman-Rockefeller, etc., establishment, is from what I know by far the best expose' of the way the US-UK governments have been pretty much taken over by these rich, powerful families and their networks, which encompass and pervade the entire spectrum of government, intelligence, corporations; in short, just about every aspect of society. Certainly that is why the book is out of print, exceedingly [costly] to obtain, but ... it is possible to download it by searching the Internet. The book is timeless and timely in the sense that no one can understand the groups who are behind our leaders w/o knowing the persons and organizations who run the world overtly and covertly, and their history. (A relatively short book that can provide a worthy backdrop for this study is "The Anglo-American Establishment," by Prof. Carroll Quigley). It is really an understatement to say that this tome provides names and details I doubt you will find anywhere else. You may have read "sound bytes" about some of the topics covered, and sundry unsubstantiated allegations of this or that, but in these 600+ pages you get, for the most part, the cold, hard facts. The chapters covering the elitist residents of Jupiter Island, FL, the extensive (Prescott) Bush-Harriman dealings with the Nazis (to the point of even helping to defeat their opposition), Skull and Bones (a Who's Who of prominent leaders since its inception in 1833), Watergate, Iran-Contra, the Savings and Loan collapse and bailout, and more, are so well-researched, thorough, coherent, and full of key events, names, and dates it boggles the mind, and it's hard to overdo praising the authors for their exacting, painstaking research. I've read many books that try to discuss maybe one or two of the topics discussed in this biography, but do little more than present a maze of data that confuses more than clarifies. The authors write with what seems to be first-hand, insider knowledege, and indeed to the point the father of one of the authors was a lawyer who fought the Bush-Harriman (along with the Warburg banking family) support for Hitler prior to WWII. People who reject ...a theory a priori would be faced with a monumental challenge to refute at least most of this biography. In tracing George Bush's multi-faceted, long career in public life, his initial losses running for Congress followed by later successes in obtaining elected and unelected positions, the authors also demonstrate very convincingly that behind the scenes there often is practically no difference between Republicans and Democrats, and that what obviously counts is to realize who or what has the real power and is thus making the crucial decisions and pulling the strings. My one complaint about the authors is their one-pointed agenda to find nothing but negative things to say about Bush. It was clear why: they were (and still are) associates of Lyndon LaRouche, a tireless foe of Bush, whom the latter had imprisoned shortly after he became President in 1989. Also, the book was written shortly before Bush ran for reelection in 1992, and they wanted to help defeat Bush. But I felt that they made too much of Bush's hyperthyroidism, his so-called liberalism (which I could only rarely follow), and found every opportunity to critize his gaffs, frenetic activity, and emotional outbursts, while finding nothing to laud. To me the book would have been "perfect" had they just stuck with providing the extraordinary amount of details on Bush and the other controlling persons/entities. Still, this unauthorized biography is a classic for history buffs, absolutely a must-read to understand the politics of the 20th century, and surely even what is going on even today. In fact as I write this review there have been widely read articles in mainstream publications about the "new" (Anglo-)American empire!
