![]() ![]() Phillips finds overwhelming evidence to implicate George H.W. Harding is both an understatement and an insult to Harding. To say that the Bush presidencies have been the most corrupt and scandal-ridden since that of Warren G. ![]() Phillips traces the Bush dynasty back four generations to expose a mind-boggling Hydra of family interests in international finance, the energy industry, religious fundamentalism, covert intelligence services and the military-industrial complex dating from World War I to Gulf War II.

Earnest, book-length indictments of the Bush presidencies have heretofore been the preserve of left-wing academics, paranoiacs and convicted felons.

Until recently, books critical of the Bush administration were rare from mainstream publishers. ![]()
