Americas Invisible Government and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years

George W. Bush leaves office as one of the most unpopular?many would say, the most
disastrous?presidents in American history, Russ Baker asks the telling question:
Who really wanted this man at the helm of the country, and why did his backers
promote the advancement of a person with such obvious liabilities and limitations?
This book is a startling new look at George W. Bush, his family and immediate network,
and the enabling environment within which they have operated. Baker's exhaustive
investigation tracks the rise to power of the Bushes, up to and including W's
presidency. It contains many new revelations, shining a clinical light on a remarkable
clan whose core of absolute loyalty and hermetic secrecy has so far concealed the
Bushes' far-reaching?and disturbing?role in events from the Bay of Pigs invasion,
to Watergate, to the Iraq war debacle. Combining gripping narrative, explosive
revelations, and trenchant analysis, How Bush Happened is nothing less than the
secret history of the elites who have shaped American politics over the last century.
