4. Just some mention of other sources...
... some more information on Samuel Bush and George Herbert Walker in WWI can be found in Kevin Phillips' American Dynasty.

Bushes receive incidental mention in the following book, but it's a good background on war profiteering and corporations involved in trading with Germany in WWII: Trading With the Enemy, Charles Higham.

Some of it is also mentioned in Kitty Kelley's The Family.

One of the other things I've found recently is a bit of a strange one--Bush, Sr., had a reputation in the House for being affable, but irrelevant. AS RNC chairman, his only talent was as a sycophant, and at the UN, he was mostly interested in socializing. And yet, this is the guy that hard-right Dick Cheney lobbied the Ford administration to pick as DCI. That should be kept in mind when reading through the link in the original post "Team B: The Trillion-Dollar Experiment."

Cheers.
