Summary: Time to Stop Kidding Ourselves
Review: Prescott Bush was a just a man, but he was a man who did a lot of very bad things. He administered finances for European shell corporations of the Third Reich before and during the war. His company was seized in 1942 under the trading with the enemy act. He helped Hitler. It's as simple as that.This man profited from war and the death of other people's children. Now his son, George HW Bush, is working for defense industry holding company, The Carlyle Group, who reports some of its highest profits ever. His Grandson has overseen the awarding of the largest no bid, no limit contracts in the history of the U.S. handed out to his Vice President's company (excuse me, Mr. Cheney still has options and receives "deferred retirement" checks from Halliburton every year). GW Bush's ratings were at their all time high when he declared war (for those of you who thought the Constitution gave that power to congress, they abdicated over a year ago)on Iraq, allowing him to push through another scurrilous tax cut for himself and his biggest contributors- once again profiting from the death of other people's children. The seeds, in this case, have not fallen very far from the tree...

Summary: Public Relations at its finest.
Review: The United States government confiscation of Prescott Bush's and family assets in 1942 under the Trading With the Enemy Act for dealing with Nazi Germany and running Germany's I. G. Farben inyerests and others in the US should show just how disingenuous the title of this book is and the motives behind it. Public Relations at its finest.
Not the Bush's finest hour.
