Russ Baker's highly praised FAMILY OF SECRETS is a well researched documentation on the Bush agenda over the past 6 decades. It brings forth little known facts that somehow were not reported, or reported but then squashed immediately by the MSM-the "fourth Branch" of government. This book shows how that was done by the influence and cunning of this secretive family.
Baker's documentation of this family's obsessive quest for power and their little known "workings" behind the scene to take control of the American way of life by ill gotten means, is depicted in this well researched journalistic endeavor by award winning journalist Russ Baker. No matter what your allegiance to party politic, this is a book for the education of all Americans.
What concerns me today, is WHY the MSM is ignoring this marvelous piece of investigative journalism, so in tune with the hunger of Americans today...for answers built upon FACT, not BS, or medial cover-up. When one realizes that the media is owned by only 6 corporations...and when one realizes that the MSM is NOT the vehicle of past journalistic pursuits, one becomes "disheartened" with the ghosts of journalism past! To get to the bottom of an event, no matter what obstacles come into play, AND to report "it", without spin, bias or the "pleasure" of the most "powerful", was the heart and soul of journalism extraordinaire. No More! Gone with the Wind because of greed over due diligence! "Let me Entertain You" has become the quest, for profit and power, not fact based and fullness of the story presented. To hell with principle based, literate and knowledgeable citizenry...the money, the power and the control of the FEW, is all that matters!
Baker's book upends this quagmire that the secrecy and greed of one powerful family has created these past 6 decades. As an American, his work Needs to be read and digested, for the sake of the democracy. Oligarchical pursuits need to be reined in, and FAMILY of SECRETS is a great beginning. We need our Constitution to work as intended....to protect "all" citizenry, Not to be shilled by the FEW. This is a great start to getting back democracy "as intended", not hijacked and distorted by the Neo-Cons and their shills. Just read what others, have to say about FAMILY OF SECRETS and Russ Baker as an honest journalist
QUOTE
“This is the right moment for just such a project, I think. The country is waking up asking itself who is this Bush guy and how did he do this number on us. It seems to me that we need a book that narrates what happened and how. As to Russ Baker, he doesn’t need me to say that he is not only among the best at his craft but also a man of rock-solid integrity. I look forward to reading this book.”
–Nicholas von Hoffman, author, columnist, and former Washington Post journalist
“Russ Baker has the three most important attributes of any great investigative reporter: He is skeptical, he is fearless, and he is indefatigable. Whenever he examines anything-including the most allegedly well covered topics-he breaks important new ground.”
–David Margolick, author and contributing editor, Vanity Fair
“Shocking in its disclosures, elegantly crafted, and faultlessly measured in its judgments, Family of Secrets is nothing less than a first historic portrait in full of the Bush dynasty and the era it shaped. From revelation to revelation, insight to insight-from the Kennedy assassination to Watergate to the oil and financial intrigues that lie behind today’s headlines-this is a sweeping drama of money and power, unseen forces, and the emblematic triumph of a lineage that sowed national tragedy. Russ Baker’s Family of Secrets is sure to take its place as one of the most startling and influential works of American history and journalism.”
