Requirements: .ePUB reader, 500 KB
Overview: With its barbecues, new Cadillacs, and $4,000 snakeskin cowboy boots, Texas is all about power and money – and the power that money buys. This detailed and wide-scope account shows how a group of wealthy Texas Republicans quietly hijacked American politics for their own gain.
Getting George W. Bush elected, we learn, was just the tip of the iceberg….
In Follow the Money, award-winning journalist and sixth-generation Texan John Anderson shows how power in Texas has long been vested in the interconnected worlds of Houston’s global energy companies, banks, and law firms – not least among them Baker Botts, the firm controlled by none other than James A. Baker III, the Bush family consigliere. Anderson explains how the Texas political system came to be controlled by a sophisticated, well-funded group of conservative Republicans who, after elevating George W. Bush to the American presidency, went about applying their hardball, high-dollar politicking to Washington, D.C.
