Features: The United States is a young and prosperous nation. It is called young because it has only over 200 years of history; it is called prosperous because it is the most developed and wealthiest country in the world today. In this book, the two authors vividly depict the rise and growth of the Bush family. They focus on describing the experiences and trajectories of several generations of the family, who either pursued business success or sought political prominence. As a result, the family naturally became intertwined with America's tycoons in finance and business, as well as influential figures in politics, the military, and other spheres, becoming part of the same network with shared destinies. Clearly, the Bush family's upbringing determined that its members, whether it was the elder Bush or the younger Bush, would, consciously or unconsciously, work tirelessly for the interests of the large financial groups represented by the family, even while outwardly promoting the image of the United States as a giant. The elder Bush's war against Iraq in the 1990s and the younger Bush's war against Iraq early in the 21st century are examples of this. This book offers critiques and analyses of the foreign policies pursued by the United States, which requires a certain degree of political wisdom and academic courage. Another key point the authors focus on in this book is the two wars the Bush family launched against Iraq.
