Family Of Secrets
 

I had heard about this book a few years ago & was intrigued & wanted to read it. I went to our local library in the late fall & looked--they had 4 copies in the system.
I had to put a hold on it to reserve me a copy & they got it in to my local branch
What a read! 500 pages & well researched with footnotes & interviews.
It is a real eye opener.
It is amazing how everyone is connected together--it reads like a real thriller mystery.
Anyone else read it?

Here is a readers review from a site selling the books

Here are a few questions for you.

Name US Presidents and future Presidents who were in Dallas on Nov. 22nd, 1963.

Can you remember what you were doing when you heard Kennedy was shot?

Which of the above future US Presidents changed his story about his activities that day? Which one had a memory lapse?

Who brought down Richard Nixon?

Which American bank funded the Nazis? Which Bush family member?

Russ Baker has done a great job investigating why the United States allowed George W. Bush to become the 43rd. President. Was George absent without leave? Was George a deserter? What part did George H. W. play while in CIA? How did 41 ensure that 43 survived his rocky past business dealings in his rise to the top?
Readers will find that "born again" George was not always opposed to abortion.
The Savings and Loan debacle and the new financial tsunami have powerful Bush influence; Russ Baker backs up his strong evidence with footnotes.
This book deserves to be required reading in all US and Canadian institutes of education.

Allow me to also ask a question.

How is the current president related to said family above?

Re: Family Of Secrets
 

Have you read the book?
Also, there are probably a book written for every President, that being said, this book delves into one particular family & it's place in both world history as well as American politics.
One example is Richard Nixon, Watergate was a set up because he asked the CIA for all of the documents relating to the Bay of Pigs & they said--"NO!"

Re: Family Of Secrets
 

Were there more than LBJ there that day?

Re: Family Of Secrets
 

Nixon & Bush were there.

Re: Family Of Secrets
 

I only asked the question because the current president is related to this family.

No I have not read the book, but I researched the family of said book. :)

It's like a cancer....roots and tentacles everywhere. :heeheehee

Re: Family Of Secrets
 

I did not realize they were there, I was just a 10 years old then.
Is this book published as Fiction or Non Fiction?

Re: Family Of Secrets
 

Does this "Family" have a daughter named Victoria?

Hee hee hee

Re: Family Of Secrets
 

Non Fiction & it answers a lot of questions like, why was Nixon surprised when he learnt about Watergate & when he heard about the Watergate break in & about how clumsy it was (meant to fail) he said it looked like a CIA operation.
You see, if it was the CIA that did it, who is ultimately accountable for it?
The Commander in chief! He was toast no matter how it went.

Check out your local library if they have a copy.
You can also check out Amazon.com as well.:thumbsup
