House of Bush, House of Saud

The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties

De: Craig Unger

Narrado por: James Naughton

How did the Bushes, America's most powerful political family, become gradually seduced by and entangled with their Saudi counterparts?

Why did the Bush administration approve the secret airlift of 140 Saudis, including two dozen relatives of Osama bin Laden, just after September 11? Did one of the Saudi royals on the planes have any advance knowledge of the attacks?

What specifically chosen words did George W. Bush say on national television during the 2000 election campaign to trigger Muslim support? How did the Saudi-funded Islamic groups propel Bush to victory in Florida, thus winning him the presidency?

The answers to these questions lie in a largely hidden relationship between the House of Bush and the House of Saud that began in the mid-1970s. An amazing weave of money, power and influence, it takes place all over the globe and involves war, covert operations and huge deals in the oil and defense industries. But, most horrifying of all, the secret liason between the two families helped trigger the Age of Terror and give rise to the tragedy of 9/11.©2004 Craig Unger; (P)2004 Simon & Schuster, Inc.

Needs To Be Unabridged

This would be a great audiobook if it were unabridged. The fact is that this sort of work of nonfiction leaves you wondering about and wishing for what must have been on the cutting room floor. Too bad a book that is getting national attention (cnn, etc) is offered only in abridged format here.

Enlightening

An incredibly disturbing portrait of our current President's and former President?s tangled relationship with the families who harbor terrorists.

It is astonishing that such a compromising political situation exits in America. It is perhaps even more shocking that both big media and we the people have let this uncomfortable relationship go unquestioned.

As one would expect, his book sheds a lot of light on the ?War on Terror?, both wars in Iraq and the finances of the USA.

This is a must read for all Americans before voting on November 2.

How can this be happening?!?!

This is my first audiobook review. I've had good experience so far with other titles, but this title really got me jazzed. I'm definitely going to pick up the book so I can find out the full, unabridged version of the story. Michael Moore's 9/11 covers about 10% of the stuff that's in this book. I still can't believe some of this stuff. If it was the 60's there'd have to be some serious protesting/public outrage at what is going on in the upper echelons of the US government.

Review wise, the last two thirds really pick up and the dude's voice is awesome. I'll definitely be listening to this one a few more times.

Shocking

WELL DONE. entertaining. Easy to listen to. Good references. Sad story bro. Amerikkka eats her babies.
