From political insider and New York Times bestselling author Roger Stone, unofficial advisor to Donald Trump, and subject of the documentary Get Me Roger Stone comes a hard-hitting look at a ruthless and flawed political dynasty.Roger Stone smashes through the layers of lies and secrecy that have surrounded and protected our country’s most successful political dynasty for nearly two centuries. Here is a blistering indictment, exposing the true history and monumental hypocrisy of the Bushes. In Stone’s usual “go for the jugular” style, this is a no-holds-barred history of the Bush family, comprised of smug, entitled autocrats who both use and hide behind their famous name. They got a long-overdue taste of defeat and public humiliation when Jeb’s 2016 presidential bid went down in flames.Besides detailing the vast litany of Jeb’s misdeeds — including receiving a $4 million taxpayer bailout when his father was vice president as well as his startlingly-close alignment with supposed “enemy” Hillary Clinton — Stone travels back to Bush patriarchs Samuel and Prescott, right on through to presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush to weave an epic story of privilege, greed, corruption, drug profiteering, assassination, and lies. A new preface to this paperback edition features explosive information, including the family’s Machiavellian plan to propel Jeb’s son George Prescott Bush forward as the family’s next political contender. Chapters include: The Preppy Drug Dealer Jeb Bungles Immigration Issue The S&L Scandal Benefits the Bushes Jeb’s Shady Partner, Fugitive Miguel Recarey How Jeb Made His Money An Indifference to Ethics Russians and Nazis Make Strange Bedfellows George Herbert Walker Bush (aka “Poppy”) Recruited by the CIA? Bush and Watergate The CIA in the ‘70s The Iran-Contra Quagmire The Pedophile Network Getting Started in the Family Business The Bush Dynasty—Now and in the Future And much more! The Bush Crime Family will have readers asking, “Why aren’t these people in prison?”

A father’s last confession to his son about the CIA, Watergate, and the plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy, this is the remarkable true story of St. John Hunt and his father E. Howard Hunt, the infamous Watergate burglar and CIA spymaster. In Howard Hunt's near-death confession to his son St. John, he revealed that key figures in the CIA were responsible for the plot to assassinate JFK in Dallas, and that Hunt himself was approached by the plotters, among whom included the CIA’s David Atlee Phillips, Cord Meyer, Jr., and William Harvey, as well as future Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis. An incredible true story told from an inside, authoritative source, this is also a personal account of a uniquely dysfunctional American family caught up in two of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century.
