Focusing on the political evolution of the Bush family, Kevin Phillips reveals their ascent to power over four generations, highlighting their connections within elite institutions like Yale and Wall Street. Through strategic networking and involvement in national security, the Bushes have established a dynastic presence in American politics, raising concerns about the implications for democracy. Phillips argues that their transformation from affluent New Englanders to evangelical Texans reflects a calculated ambition that has shaped modern political landscapes, especially leading up to the 2004 election.
