The Bush Crime Family: The Inside Story of an American Dynasty

The Bush family has dominated American politics across four generations, projecting an image of patrician respectability and public service that Roger Stone intends to dismantle entirely. In The Bush Crime Family, Stone and co-author Saint John Hunt trace the dynasty from its origins with Samuel and Prescott Bush through the presidencies of George H.W. and George W. Bush, arguing that beneath the famous name lies a history of privilege, greed, corruption, and cover-up that has been systematically protected by a compliant media and a political establishment with too much at stake to look too closely. Stone details the S&L scandal and the taxpayer bailout that benefited Jeb Bush when his father was vice president, Jeb's alignment with Hillary Clinton, and the family's connections to the CIA, Iran-Contra, and networks Stone alleges extended far beyond what was ever publicly acknowledged. He goes further back as well, examining Prescott Bush's business dealings with entities connected to Nazi Germany. A new preface added to the paperback edition includes what Stone describes as explosive new information about the family's long-term plan to advance Jeb's son George Prescott Bush as the dynasty's next political vehicle. This is Stone operating at his most unsparing.
