Product Information

They have wielded enormous financial power and dominated world politics for more than half a century. They have been appointed to positions of great power and have been elected as governors, congressmen, senators and presidents. They have shaped our past and, with our country at war under the leadership of their number one son, they are, more critically than ever, shaping our future. As the Bush family has risen to dominance, so too they have been master orchestrators of their own public image, acting and operating under the shield of privacy their money and status have always afforded them. Until now. Number One bestselling author and investigative biographer Kitty Kelley has closely examined the lives of Jacqueline Onassis, Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra, and the British Royal family. Now the First Lady of unauthorized biography reckons with the first family of the United States-and the result is at once a rich and shocking history and a very human portrait of the world's most powerful dynasty. An important work on wealth, power, and class in America,The Familyis rich in texture, probing in its psychological insight, revealing in its political and financial detail, and stunning in the patterns that emerge and expose the Bush dynasty as it has never before been exposed. Ms. Kelley takes us back to the origins of the family fortune in the Ohio steel industry at the turn of the last century, through the oil deals and international business associations that have maintained and increased their wealth over the past hundred years. The book leads us through Prescott Bush's first entrée into government at the state level in 1950s' Connecticut, to George Herbert Walker Bush's long and winding road to the White House, to his son's quick sweep into the same office. Along the way, we see the complex relationships the Bushes have had with the giants of the century-Eisenhower, Nixon, Joseph McCarthy, Kissinger, Reagan, Clinton-as well as the often ruthless methods used to realize their goals. Perhaps most impressive-and surprising-is the way the book delves behind the obsessively protected public image into the family's intimate private lives: the matriarchs, the mistresses, the marriages, the divorces, the jealousies, the hypocrisies, the golden children, and the black sheep. At a crucial point in American history, Kitty Kelley is the one person to finally tell all about the family that has, perhaps more than any other, defined our role in the modern world. This is the book the Bushes don't want you to read. This isThe Family.

Reviews
"This is a story of power, sex and betrayal--but mostly of power." The New York Times Book Review "A thoroughly researched piece of work. Ms. Kelley clearly devoured and digested the extant literature on the family." The New York Times "Kelley's account of the rise and fall of the Bush family is both inspirational and cautionary. She convincingly shows that good looks, energy, athleticism, ambition, felicitous marriages and social networking can compensate for intellectual ordinariness." The Washington Post Book World "The Family . . . has left few stones unturned. . . . Kelley has brought new information to bear on a family that, for better or worse, deserves her kind of royal treatment." The New York Times Book Review "A sweeping indictment of the mind-set of the [Bush] family, that they grew up feeling that this was their due." Garry Trudeau, The Charlie Rose Show "Despite the best efforts of the media, the public is gaining insight into their president as the facts leak out and as Kitty Kelley's The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, tops the sales chart."

    THE FAMILY...THE REAL STORY OF THE BUSH DYNASTY

    LIKED THE INSIGHT INTO JUST WHAT MONEY AND POWER CAN BUY. LIKED THE IMPLICATION THAT THE ELDER BUSH POLITICAN ( DECEASED) WOULD BE VERY DISTURBED IF HE COULD SEE THE WAY GEORGE W. OPERATES. FOR ME , IT WAS A LONG READ...I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING IT DOWN BECAUSE I COULD NOT SWALLOW IN LARGE DOSES. NONETHELESS, IT WAS A GOOD READ. THOUGHT IT IMPORTANT TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHY THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE. IF YOU LIKE THE BUSHES YOU'LL PROBABLY ENJOY THE BOOK EVEN MORE THAN I DID. WHAT I WALK AWAY WITH IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BUSH DYNASTY AND THE KENNEDY DYNASTY. WHILE THE KENNEDYS, TOO , STRIVED TO ACHIEVE MONEY AND POWER THEY TRIED NOT TO TAKE IT FROM US ( AT LEAST NOT BLATANTLY,LOL)...THE REGULAR FOLK.. AND THEY DIDN'T WANT SO MUCH THAT ALL THEIR FRIENDS WOULD GET A PIECE OF AMERICAN ...

    The Family

    I loved the detailed history of the Bush Dynasty. It is a "big" book but entails so much information ....you feel like you know the family by the time you finish the read. I originally choose the book because I wanted to know about the second Bush (last president). I think I found out everything and more. Kelly Kitty is such a fantastic writer..I love her books. I've also read the bio she wrote on Frank Sinatra which was also fantastic. Again, an excellent read!!!!!!!!!!
