By uncovering relationships and connecting facts with new clarity, Phillips comes to a stunning conclusion: The Bush family has systematically used its financial and social empire?its "aristocracy"?to gain the White House, thereby subverting the very core of American democracy. In their ambition, the Bushes ultimately reinvented themselves with brilliant timing, twisting and turning from silver spoon Yankees to born-again evangelical Texans. As America?and the world?holds its breath for the 2004 presidential election, American Dynasty explains how it happened and what it all means. 4aBus, George 4aPresidents - United States - Biography 4aPOliticians - United States - Biography a01321/MKRI-P/I-2005 a01321/MKRI-P/I-2005
