Summary
An unprecedented look at a family notorious for guarding its privacy, THE BUSHES tells the story of the Bush family's ascent to wealth, power, and prominence --the extent of which surpasses that of the Adamses, Roosevelts, and Kennedys. Here, for the first time ever, Bush family members and friends discuss such sensitive topics as George W's drinking problem, the family's rivalries and loyalties, the relationship between George and Jeb, and the special assignments George, Sr. and other family members carry out for the president. The in-depth interviews confirm that which George and Jeb had always asserted: they were never pushed into politics. For, while such politically ambitious families as the Kennedys are raised to meet specific political expectations, the Bushes emphasize their legacy, inculcating each generation with a sense of political purpose as an integral part of the family's identity
