Interesting, but .....

I have the audio version and found it interesting and upsetting, but not soley for the obvious reasons. Are the common folk simply pawns to these people who plan wars and assasinations where hundreds of innocent people are killed, with no regard to life.

Bush called Saddam and Osama evildoers, murderers. Isn't he and his Saudi brethren cut from the same cloth? I know this in naive, but what is needed is a total transformation of human motivation, ideology and governmental structure.

Further, while I have no way of knowing if all the facts of this book are true, it is certain that nefarious deals are the way of the world. How much money is enough?

I further find it despicable that a hundred of so despots who happen to live above a buried field of oil should have become so influential. Perhaps, we invaded the wrong country.

THE TREASON OF THE RICH

The book is everything they say it is, and even now it still stands out, even towers over the pile of Bush-revelations of gaffs, deceit, blunders and fraud, that fill the bookshelves today. My judgement isn't objective. I'm not an investigative reporter, or a former high-level federal functionary with linenes to air. I'm a citizen who's kept track of Wubya's astonishing career for the past few years. To be brief, I read the first third of the book and had to put it down. I was so nauseated by what I read. I wasn't astonished or surprised by most of it, only nauseated by the detail of background information and the amounts of money involved. So, I put it down for three weeks or so. Then, I picked it up and finished it in one lunge. And now, two days later, I remain not only as nauseated as I was months ago, but horrified by the tsunami of corruption barreling out of Crawford.

It is bad enough that we find ourselves economically tied cheek and jowl to China, that scarcely repentant Communist jauggernaught--particularly when we can't even cope with poor, bumbling Cuba--but that this snare of Bin Laden's that we've blindly and quickly fallen into in Iraq, and in which we bleed lives and treasure daily, to the tune of billions upon billions--has been and is likely to continue to be covertly funded by the Saudis, our odi-et-amo confrers in this morbid oliodebacle. They buy our businesses, our buildings, real estate, bonds, race horses, and hire our armies and navies, our planes and bombs; they debauch freely at our resorts and yet think of us as less than dogs or swine, laughing all the while at our notions of personal freedom, human dignity and democratic government. We have been sold to not one, but two murderous theocracies, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and lie helpless between them, tied by financial obligations to them both. Where are the walls before which the villains who hawked our country to fanatics can meet their just rewards? If they lie in their beds, nights, securely and comfortably, without fear of retribution, then all our ancestors who fought for the nation's honor must twist in their windidng sheets, in shame.

It is terrible that this book had to be written, but I am grateful to the man who had the nerve to write it.

Good book, but very liberal

I enjoyed this book but it had a very liberal slant. Too much opinion and not a lot of hard fact. There was a lot of linking people to deeds without fact: guilt by association.

Obviously an anti-Bush book. Doesn't really explain how all Presidents were involved in saudi dealings. i know that its called house of bush, but still. It would have been better if it wasn't so one-sided.

Excellent

Craig Unger has connected a lot of the dots! I think this should be required reading. It is depressing to read about all the crap that is going with our government and know that there is nothing that can be done about it. Left feeling outraged and helpless. At times it felt like a thriller and I am sorry that it is not fiction!

The National MALIGNENCY Revealed

I am surprised that people are still surprised at GW's behavior.
Steeped in Privilege and Nurtured with Deceit....how could this man have turned out ANY Differently. This book is an EYE OPENER, into the Bush Family, and what we should ALWAYS expect from them!

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Newsbreaking and controversial -- an award-winninginvestigative journalist uncovers the thirty-year relationshipbetween the Bush family and the House of Saud andexplains its impact on American foreign policy, business,and national security.

House of Bush, House of Saud begins with a politicallyexplosive question: How is it that two days after 9/11,when U.S. air traffic was tightly restricted, 140 Saudis,many immediate kin to Osama Bin Laden, were permitted toleave the country without being questioned by U.S. intelligence?

The answer lies in a hidden relationship that began in the1970s, when the oil-rich House of Saud began courtingAmerican politicians in a bid for military protection, influence,and investment opportunity. With the Bush family, the Saudishit a gusher -- direct access to presidents Reagan, George H.W.Bush, and George W. Bush. To trace the amazing weave of Saud-Bush connections, Unger interviewed three former directors ofthe CIA, top Saudi and Israeli intelligence officials, and morethan one hundred other sources. His access to major players isunparalleled and often exclusive -- including executives at theCarlyle Group, the giant investment firm where the House ofBush and the House of Saud each has a major stake.

Like Bob Woodward's The Veil, Unger's House of Bush, Houseof Saud features unprecedented reportage; like Michael Moore'sDude, Where's My Country? Unger's book offers a politicalcounter-narrative to official explanations; this deeply sourcedaccount has already been cited by Senators Hillary RodhamClinton and Charles Schumer, and sets 9/11, the two Gulf Wars,and the ongoing Middle East crisis in a new context: Whatreally happened when America's most powerful political familybecame seduced by its Saudi counterparts?
