Decision Points

De: George W. Bush

Narrado por: George W. Bush

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.

worth listening to

I am glad I did as my assessment of him and his administration was not good until recently.. His was a troubled time for America, and through it all he showed his compassion, humility and strength. He has become one of my favorite and respected Presidents of the last century. Thank you Sir

Heart strings!

He’s truly for the people just like his father!!
Absolutely great read!
I encourage everyone to check out this book as it may inspire you .

History through the voice of its maker.

Excellent book detailing the critical decisions made by #43, narrated by the man himself. Well done.

Fantastic!

43 gives life to his presidency. Remarkable account of crucial junctures in our recent history.

Great Book

It was so nice to hear him tell his story instead of someone else. I enjoyed the entire book, I recommend it to people who enjoyed GW as well as those who did not, but would like to hear his side of things.

Great Dive Into Bush's Decisions

I loved the dive into why Bush made some of the greatest decisions he did.

Clarifying

I gathered from this autobiography that President Bush made a number of decisions based on the best information he had at the time, and suffered through the criticism and unpopularity that followed. Nobody can covet the job he had to do in leading the nation through catastrophic crisis after crisis.

MY PRESIDENT

You will forever be my favorite President. You made me feel safe no matter what wolf was knocking on the door of our country.

Honest reflection of a controversial presidency

I came of voting age just in time for W’s first presidential run. His was a President of consequence to me. I always respected and looked up to him, having met him on the Texan congressional floor during Youth and Government. I enjoyed this book immensely and found it to be thoughtful, raw, and honest. I especially enjoyed listening to our former president’s voice in narration. I laughed, cried, and remembered a presidency with many ups and downs.

Enjoyed the book

I liked President Bush especially in the aftermath of 9/11 as I was young and scared, and he made us feel safe , however I did sour on him towards the end . However with the toxicity of politics today I long for the old Bush days of politics.
