Publisher's summary

President George W. Bush describes the critical decisions of his presidency and personal life.

Decision Points is the extraordinary memoir of America’s 43rd president. Shattering the conventions of political autobiography, George W. Bush offers a strikingly candid journey through the defining decisions of his life. In gripping, never-before-heard detail, President Bush brings listeners inside the Texas Governor’s Mansion on the night of the hotly contested 2000 election; aboard Air Force One on 9/11, in the hours after America’s most devastating attack since Pearl Harbor; at the head of the table in the Situation Room in the moments before launching the war in Iraq; and behind the Oval Office desk for his historic and controversial decisions on the financial crisis, Hurricane Katrina, Afghanistan, Iran, and other issues that have shaped the first decade of the 21st century.

President Bush writes honestly and directly about his flaws and mistakes, as well as his accomplishments reforming education, treating HIV/AIDS in Africa, and safeguarding the country amid chilling warnings of additional terrorist attacks. He also offers intimate new details on his decision to quit drinking, discovery of faith, and relationship with his family.

A groundbreaking new brand of memoir, Decision Points will captivate supporters, surprise critics, and change perspectives on one of the most consequential eras in American history - and the man at the center of events.

Thought I'd hate it, glad I listened.

I cant say that I was a big fan of Dubyah when he was in office, but this was a pretty good listen. He does a really good job narrating and explains a lot of the reasoning behind the decisions he made while in office. I reccommend this book it is thoughtful and engaging. Potatoe.

DECISION POINTS

What a great book. Thank you, Mr. President for all you have done for this country.

Great Book!

There will never be a president that makes everyone happy. George W. Bush has consistently been bashed since he was first elected and I feel he did the best he could with the bows we were dealt during his time in office. It was a welcomed experience to hear it from his perspective.

Very glad I got it in Audio - More enjoyable

Great book and very easy to listen to. Vey enjoyable to hear Bush narrate; you can feel the emotion from the writing in his voice. A+

Interesting but ...

Any additional comments?

An Excellent Look Back At 8 Pivotal Years in The United States

President Bush explained major decisions in great detail and in ways the media never would. I really enjoyed this book. In the Epilogue, the President states his wish that he hopes he held true to his vow to keep America safe during his Presidency. I firmly believe he did. It’s truly no wonder his hair was profoundly grey in 2009. The decisions he faced were not easy and they were pivotal in America’s survival. Well done, Mr. President. Thanks for your insight and move over your service.
