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

by Roger Stone, John Hunt

"This book is very tough." - President Donald TrumpThe Bush Crime Family smashes through the layers of lies and secrecy that have surrounded and protected our country’s most successful political dynasty for nearly two centuries. New York Times bestselling author Roger Stone lashes out with a blistering indictment, exposing the true history and monumental hypocrisy of the Bushes. In Stone’s usual “go for the jugular” style, this is a no-holds-barred history of the Bush family, comprised of smug, entitled autocrats who both use and hide behind their famous name. They got a long-overdue taste of defeat and public humiliation when Jeb’s 2016 presidential bid went down in flames.Besides detailing the vast litany of Jeb’s misdeeds - including receiving a $4 million taxpayer bailout when his father was vice president as well as his startlingly-close alignment with supposed “enemy” Hillary Clinton - Stone travels back to Bush patriarchs Samuel and Prescott, right on through to presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush to weave an epic story of privilege, greed, corruption, drug profiteering, assassination, and lies. A new preface to this paperback edition features explosive information, including the family’s Machiavellian plan to propel Jeb’s son George Prescott Bush forward as the family’s next political contender.The Bush Crime Family will have readers asking, “Why aren’t these people in prison?”

About the author

Roger Stone is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ. He is a legendary political operative who served as a senior campaign aide to Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Senator Bob Dole. Stone would parlay being the youngest staff member of the Committee to Re-Elect the President in 1972 into being a conduit of secret memos from Ex-President Nixon to President Ronald Reagan throughout the 80s. A veteran of eight national presidential campaigns, Stone would spend hours talking politics with Nixon as confidant and adviser in his post-presidential years. Stone is known for his hardball tactics, deep opposition research, biting candor, and love of English custom tailoring. Stone serves as mens fashion correspondent for the Daily Caller.

Reviews

[Debbie Palmer]

Absolutely electrifying. This has certainly busted my bubble with all government officials! I highly recommend this read but you will be delusional about our real state of affairs and the monied politicians. Unreal!

[Stacey B. Plotts]

Your Mind Will Be Blown

I am thoroughly disgusted about what Mr. Stone has revealed about the "elite deviance" of the Bush family! Time after time, generation after generation, they and others of their ilk (Clintons) move freely and with impunity, committing murder, moving mass quantities of drugs, we the people would NEVER get away with! Scot free and with no qualms at all about their crimes.
However, I believe in God, and on that great and terrible day, where ALL who commit Godless acts WILL face the WHITE THRONE OF JUDGEMENT!

[Trebor]

A eye opener! How so many government officials from the very top are basically criminals. Betraying both country and citizens for money, power, and ego. Treason is the least of their crimes. Wake up America, the enemies are living and working in Washington, DC. regardless of party. Gut wrenching read!

[Bobbie]

A difficult book to read due to its fantastical conspiracy theories for which Roger Stone is well known. Allegations such as pedophile parties in the White House during Bush 41's administration and gay sex between Bush 43 and John Kerry in their younger days. Two glaring errors which may be simple mistakes or made intentionally to mislead the reader bring the author's integrity into question. First, he points to remarks made by John O'Neill after the 911 attacks. Said remarks support a conspiracy regarding Bush 43. Trouble is that O'Neill died when the towers came down and made no remarks after the attacks that we know of. Second, he claims that in 2002 George P. Bush was caught in a sex act in a car with an underage girl of 17 years old but never got charged. Bush was 18 ears old in 2002. Trouble is, the event actually occurred in 2000 which means Bush was only 16

[David Bocek]

Hunt & Stone create a well-summarized expose of the Bush Dynasty. From Prescott's dealings with the Nazis, to GHW Bush's alleged involvement with the JFK Assassination, Watergate & the attempted Assassination of Reagan, to both Gulf Wars, 9/11 & the life of Bush II this book will not disappoint those who dislike the Bushes & others. I found the book based on the evidence I have seen to be the complete truth. The book is heavily based on another expose book: "Family of Secrets" (2008) by Russ Baker. No family in the US should have this kind of power.

[Liquidlasagna]

one of these stone books where he gets 65% of the story right
and 25% of it is an interesting fabrication

sorta amusing he really does a number on Bush and Kerry in Skull and Bones by insinuating they had a sexual relationship in their early years

*cough*

where he does okay on where his writing borrowed from Russ Bellant
with House of Secrets

[Karen]

Very disturbing to think that so many of the wars and internal problems in the US in my lifetime were actually caused by this family and their compatriots in their elitist desire for power and money. Even if only part of this book is true, it is still horrendous. I have been losing faith in government and the political dynasties and other idiot politicians that rule us. This book just sped up my distrust and distaste.

[Amy Lea Miller]

I was very shocked at what they book revealed. The information provided all seems to be real with documentation. Rich have different ways of achieving things. God says it easier for a camel to go into through the eye of a needle and than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. This is all I could think of the reading this book.

[Al Hub]

Absolutely incredible, well written, evidence on evidence on evidence, and information galore. Super glad Stone took the time to write this, like he said, we must know. Combine this with the Man Who Killed Kennedy and your U.S. Political History bag will overflowing, explains and connects the dots!

[Jimyanni]

I have no love for the Bush family; that why I picked this book up in the first place. And it was entertaining to read the list of allegations against them. Some of them, no doubt, are true. But I'm pretty sure that not all of them are, given that the evidence presented for some of the more outrageous of the allegations is pretty circumstantial, especially some of the "allegations" that were pretty much left as implications, rather than stated outright. And it's obvious that Stone has a personal enmity towards George HW Bush, and to a lesser extent towards Dubya and Jeb, so it's obvious that in many cases, he's willing to accept any suggestion that they have done something wrong, without giving any particular effort to consider other possible explanations, including testimony from people with every motivation to lie and no particular history of being truthful. So unfortunately, this book ends up being nothing but a bunch of wild-eyed frothing at the mouth, making every effort to sling as much mud as possible, and as such, it's impossible to have much idea of which wild-eyed frothing is true, and which is purely fabricated. Unfortunate, because a more even-handed approach would have been far more convincing of those points it actually chose to make.

[Robert LoCicero]

Another tour de force from Roger Stone and his associate. The author goes over the history of the Bush family and highlights the events and machinations around those events that show us a side of this family that is never in the public consciousness. Of course when untoward facts are revealed publically the family somehow manages to escape without much criticism or legal ramifications. This story goes back to the original founder, Samuel Bush and proceeds through Prescott, George H, George W and ending with Jeb's 2016 Presidential campaign against Donald Trump. There is so much information and the source material for exposing what went on in the family's financial, political and personal interaction, that the readers head may spin. It happened to me but I powered on and was astounded with the criminality Roger Stone discusses and the unanswered accusations that should have made the American voting public reject two of these members for office of the President. Thank God Jed was roundly rejected by Republican voters. Read this tome and make up your own mind.

[Jeri-Lynn Vernon]

I find anything written by Roger Stone to be suspect. While I do not believe that politicians are squeaky clean, this guy is himself a mess and not be be believed. I did a quick read because the book was lent to me but would never buy anything by this author. He is a crazy nut and is aligned with Trump. Stone is the one who is guilty for goodness sake.

[Breezy]

Interesting read. The WWII connections with Prescott Bush were insane. That probably shocked me more than anything else and there was a lot of documentation/sources to validate. That being said- some of this book felt emotional and it was hard to separate fact from conjecture. I also found the writing style to jump back and forth frequently- making it hard to follow.

[Dawn]

How could I have voted for these people? This was a difficult book for me to read. Ultimately, after reading it, I’m fairly certain that my voting procedures in the future will be much more “down ballot.”

The book includes an index, an appendix, a bibliography, and endnotes.

[Crystal Marsico-Wood]

This book was a struggle for me. I don't really like politics and didn't know how accurate this was. If most of it is true then it is rather eye opening and reinforces the fact that almost all politicians are corrupt in many ways. Finally I finished it.

[Douglas M. Hurley]

What a bunch of crooks, the bush family is.

[Jennifer Speer]

It was hard to read all the bad in the Bush family. The author did his research. Well done.
