I guess I'll keep on reading before I make my final judgment. I’m currently reading the book and I’m not (yet?) getting any surprises so far.

Skull and Bones, backing the Nazi's, Oil and the Brown Brother Harriman company aside, the Bush family lost all of their businesses in Cuba. H.W. sat on many of those companys' boards of directors, sugar and liquor companies and the casinos. When they realized that Kennedy was not going to go along with their plan to overthrow Castro, it was time for Kennedy to go. There are books upon books upon books making all the links. They got rid of Nixon through Watergate because he was never an insider. Just listen to the warnings of Prescott Bush-backed Eisenhower. He hit the nail on the head about the power of the Bush dynasty. The only thing in the way of many, many years of a Bush dynasty was a bunch of Kennedy's. And the Bushes have been in control ever since. Bildeberger/Bush/Kissinger behind Eisenhower (Korea, Vietnam), Johnson (Vietnam, Oil), Ford (Warren Commission coverup), a blip of Bildeberg-backed Carter, then the rest direct puppets of the Bush power elite (Oil, Gulf Wars, and trillion dollar debts every time save for Clinton). Nothing new in this book. It's just taken a long time for someone to put it all into one volume. It's out there. Go look it up. No loose connections here.

The Kennedy assassination material (to one not entirely familiar with the odd canon) seems partially forced. Too many loosely connected sleazy pols, spooks and oil barons to break new ground. There may not be new ground to break here. But the Watergate deconstruction is riveting and chillingly revelatory. N can be seen to have played many roles in the drama -- victim of the bureaucracy and his political rivals, unleashed bully within his own house and mad-as-a-hatter boy in the bubble. Besides, Baker writes so well that much of the historical flashbacks have a contemporary vividness. Baker drives home some blockbuster theories in “Family”.
