Description

The Family: A Network of Power and Faith Behind the scenes of American politics, a secretive and influential group has been shaping the nation's agenda for decades. The Family, a network of ultra-conservative Christians, has been quietly pulling the strings of power in Washington, using a unique blend of faith and free-market fundamentalism to achieve their goals. Their approach is subtle, yet effective, with a focus on backroom diplomacy and strategic alliances. With a stated goal of "Jesus plus nothing," The Family has become a major player in shaping American policy, often without being noticed. This book tells the story of how their faith-part free-market fundamentalism, part imperial ambition, has come to be interwoven with the affairs of nations around the world. Through a series of revelations and exposés, The Family's inner workings are laid bare, exposing a complex web of power and influence that has been hidden in plain sight.
