- Synopsis
- [From the back cover[ Tracing investigative leads back through three decades, SECRECY & PRIVILEGE explores the mystery of how the two George Bushes rose to the pinnacle of American political power-and what the rise of their dynasty has meant to the nation's democratic principles. Reporter Robert Parry starts the story at the Watergate scandal as embattled President Richard Nixon picks the well- connected George H.W. Bush to lead the Republican Party. The story follows the elder Bush's career through his year at the CIA and his role in a string of national- security scandals and electoral dirty tricks. Those lessons are passed down to his oldest son, George W. Bush, who achieves a tenuous hold on the White House in Election 2000, before consolidating his political power and launching a controversial war in Iraq.
