  Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - Cronies: Oil, the Bushes, and the Rise of Texas, America's Superstate by Robert Bryce, ...
Bryce hit upon this notion while researching his previous book, Pipe Dreams, which chronicled the rise and fall of the last Texas legend, Enron.
Bryce tells his tale in a way more admiring than alarmist; he doesn't sound like a conspiracy nut, he sounds like a guy who just loves a good yarn involving a lot of bad guys.
Bryce's theory that Texas dominates American politics is also bolstered by the evidence.

  Amazon.ca: Reviews for Pipe Dreams: Books: Robert Bryce   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Bryce's main theory is that the company was done in by a lack of hard cash, as just about all of its revenues were long-term contractual deals in which cash would actually come in slowly and periodically, although the "revenues" could be claimed immediately through preposterous over-use of "mark-to-market" accounting.
Bryce is generally harsh in his portrayals of all the guilty executives - from the unscrupulous Fastow and the self-worshipping Jeff Skilling to the utterly incompetent Ken Lay.
Robert Bryce does a very good job in explaining how a group of arrogant, greedy, crooked MBA types managed to ruin Enron and wipe out the 401k plans of many employees of the company--meanwhile filling their own pockets so they could buy multimillion dollar homes in the swankiest neighborhood of Houston.

 Cook & Peary: The Polar Controversy, Resolved, Robert M. Bryce
It is obvious, to me, that Bryce goes far out of his way to find every little bit of dirt to throw at Henson in an effort to muddy his legendary status.
Bryce concludes his "bully pulpit" attack on Henson by throwing in a quote from Marie Stafford "there was nothing exceptional about Henson".
Bryce wants readers to know he believes Henson was too ignorant to write his own book.

 ISBN: 0815411383, The North Pole, Robert E. Peary
Bryce, a vindictive, prejudiced and un-traveled librarian, has written a tedious 1000-page error-fill tome purporting to "resolve" the polar controversy, and now shamelessly seeks to promote himself on the backs of men who risked their lives to accomplish deeds of genuine merit.
Bryce stuck to this thesis, untroubled by the fact that Cook's genuine effort ended more than 400 miles short of the Pole, while Peary's "ruse" took him, beyond peradventure, to within 130 miles of the Pole [after which everyone agrees he continued his northward journey].
Bryce was further untroubled by the finding of the Navigation Foundation (re-affirmed when other photographs were later discovered) that analysis of over a dozen of Peary's polar photographs placed him within 3-8 miles of the Pole -- as close, in other words, as he could have been within the tolerance of his navigational instruments).

 The Frederick A. Cook Society
Bryce quips, "this is especially so when you consider the lightweights he [Washburn] is up against in the three Cookites." In his new 2001 book, The Disreputable Dr. Cook, Washburn provided details about our 1994 expedition and his index includes references for four members of our climbing team.
Bryce cited a testy 1956 correspondence exchange Gibbons had with Ted Leitzell (a Cook advocate in the 1930s), where Leitzell claimed that "the supposed crony of Peary [MacMillan] was not and never had been an officer or director at Zenith." Bryce in his eagerness to snipe at Gibbons never bothered to verify Leitzell's allegation.
Bryce's defense of the accuracy of the 1909 Barrill affidavit is ludicrous.

 ISBN:0811703177, Cook&Peary: The Polar Controversy Resolved, Robert M. Bryce
The document Bryce refers to states that the negative of the photo in question is at the National Geographic Society, and that an un-retouched print of the photo appears in the U.K. edition of Peary's book.
Bryce also exhumes the argument that Peary's diary is a fake because it is too clean.
Bryce makes no attempt to address these views, other than to fall back on Cook's old stratagem: everyone who disagrees with him is biased and/or on the payroll of the "Peary Arctic Trust."

Enron will happen again, said Robert Bryce, author of Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron and the first non-CPA speaker of this semester’s Lyceum series.
Bad deals were rewarded up front, Bryce said, so executives furiously made deals, even if they would become unprofitable and were not well thought out.
Other factors that Bryce blamed for Enron were the coziness of their Arthur Andersen auditors to their management teams and the lack of controls on derivatives.

 800 CEO Read.com - Pipe Dreams By Robert Bryce, Molly Ivins
The answer, Texas business journalist Robert Bryce reveals in this incisive and entertaining book, is that bad business practices begin with human beings.
Pipe Dreams traces Enron's astounding transformation from a small regional gas pipeline company into an energy Goliath...and then tracks step-by-step, business decision by business decision, extra-marital affair by extra-marital affair, how, when and why the culture of Enron began to go rotten, and who was responsible.
Bryce tells that story with all the personality, passion, humor, and inside dope you'd hope for, and the result is an un-putdownable read in the tradition of Barbarians at the Gate and The Predators' Ball.

In his recent book, Cronies: Oil, the Bushes, and the Rise of Texas, America's Superstate, Bryce argues that the Lone Star State's powerful crony network, centered around the energy industry, has come dominate national politics, making Texas "America's superstate."
