Pretty much everyone is aware that George H. W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush, were both former Presidents of the United States. This book goes into detail about their time in office, as well as how they got to be political powerhouses in the Republican Party. It discusses other members of the family as well, including their wives and ancestors. It really goes into detail about the shady doings in the oil industry as well as the wars in the Middle East.
I liked that this book included personal interviews with various members of the family. It is always interesting to see how people respond to questions or situations. I also liked that it included pictures. One of my favorite things about history books are that they generally include pictures. I like putting faces or properties with what I am learning about. I am really about over anything that talks about politics, because it is such a horrible time currently for that, but I am trying to get all of these things on my shelf read. I learned many things about this family that I did not know, and it was a valuable book in that sense. If you are interested in Presidents or family dynasties, this may be a selection for you to look into.
