Summary: Very Disappointing!
Comment: I purchased this book hoping to learn more about the Bush family dealings with Nazi Germany, the Bay of Pigs, the Kennedy assassination, the Reagan assassination attempt, the Savings & Loan debacle, Iran Contra, and so forth. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a biased politically driven diatribe, written at the time of the 1992 election, and intended to help to derail George Herbert Walker Bush's failed re-election attempt. Sadly, it seems that most of the reviewers below were so passionate about their desire to see victories for the democrat party that they failed to notice the weakness of this book.
The author unwisely starts the book with a short biography. He describes himself as having spent much of his life in uniform prior to his seventeenth birthday. Sorry, Mr. Bowen, military school doesn't count. It just means you probably had wealthy parents. Then he shares that his falling out with the Bush clan stems from his arrest and imprisonment for illegal importation of narcotics into the United States. In my opinion, this puts Mr. Bowen in the sad fraternity of Barry Seal, Terry Reed, and many others who enjoyed the huge financial rewards of flying illegal drugs into our nation and then resented the consequences.
As to style, the book is not well written. Moreover, it is not accurate. Mr. Bowen compares the first Bush administration to that of Herbert Hoover. In this comparison, he relates that both administrations were charactarized by bread lines. Well, I wasn't alive during the Hoover administration. But the assertion that there were bread lines during the early nineties sounds like the worst of Democratic Socialists of America rhetoric.
For those who are interested in the secret history of the United States, I would depend on more credible authors such as Craig Roberts, Anthony Sutton, Jim Maars, and James Perloff.
Knowing what I know now, I would not waste money on this book.

Summary: The Immaculate Deception: The Bush Crime Family Exposed
Comment: This is a documented and well-researched book which details a number of Bush's activities, primarily prior to becoming America's President. Most of this information I have found in other documents written about the Bush family (by journalists and by others). It is fascinating stuff, and difficult to put the book down.
However, there are two fatal flaws in Bowen's style. First, there is so much information jammed into the text, that it does not read easily. There are other authors who have written histories so well that they read like novels. I can just imagine how much MORE fascinating this book would have been, had it not been slightly convoluted due to the huge amounts of information. Secondly, while Bowen lists the references at the end of the book, and there are footnotes throughout the book, there is not enough notation for the many sources cited throughout the text. Unfortunately, this failing gives naysayers the justification to ask, "Where's the proof?" The editors of this publishing company should have known that if a statement or meeting or paper has documentation to back it up, then notations must be made.
It is a terrible shame that after all the obvious time (probably years) Bowen spent writing this, that due to the lack of notations, this book might not be considered valid...
Rating: 1
Summary: a waste of paper and ink.
Comment: I can't believe I was duped into buying this crap.
Bowen's next book should be about the people living on Mars.
