French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said that "words are loaded pistols". In the hands of Russ Baker, they are hydrogen bombs. On each and every page of his masterpiece, Family of Secrets, he explodes the myths and lies that powerful forces have perpetrated on the American consciousness. He digs beneath the surface in a form of journalistic archeology to reveal the hidden history of one of America's most powerful families, leaving no stone unturned.

Outstanding

Should be read with Gary Webb’s book, can’t understand one without the other. Would work well in tandem with Steve Coll’s book about Bin Laden, and the BCCI angle works well with the Franklin scandal but there’s no mention of Khashoggi which is disappointing. That’s the real Iran Contra?

In July 1995, San Jose Mercury-News reporter Gary Webb found the Big One - the blockbuster story every journalist secretly dreams about - without even looking for it. A simple phone call concerning an unexceptional pending drug trial turned into a massive conspiracy involving the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, L.A. and Bay Area crack cocaine dealers, and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Gary Webb died so you can read this book. That’s all. Read it and take notes.
