Investigative journalist Peter Stone gives us an inside look into the elite world of super rich conservative patrons. The Billionaires Club explores how a handful of powerful men, some well-known and others hidden from public view, became crucial financiers of the GOP shadow party, facilitated the rise of Tea Party, and responded to the 2012 election with a reinvigorated plan to continue their crusade to slash government regulations and taxes. Stone combines in-depth investigative reporting with history and biography to tell the inside story of how an elite group of billionaires men with big personalities and even bigger wallets have helped shape the modern Right and influenced the GOP. Centered on larger than life figures, such as casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, industrialists Charles and David Koch, Texas homebuilder Bob Perry, hedge fund CEO Paul Singer, to name a few, The Billionaires Club reveals their significant influence in Republican policy making circles and their close ties to powerful GOP figures like Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan.
