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 readers 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.

小布什的8年，是战争的八年，不，是国家安全的8年。

站在布什的立场开始重新认识美国近8年多的历史。9.11恐怖袭击、阿富汗和伊拉克战争在各种阴谋论的充斥下不知道该去选择信什么，但是在读过之后无论书中的内容是真是假，总归给了世人另一个可以选择的解答。

和前面奥黑、尼克松的自传相比，这本体量小多了。和通常的编年体不同，他是按照不同主题分别归类展开的，因此不会有流水账的感觉，缺点是体验感略有不足，而且很多无法明确归类的事件付之阙如或仅仅一笔带过。文笔（他自己承任有个专职写手帮了他很大忙）质朴，感情真挚。当然，没有一个总统不吹嘘自己的政绩，但还是看到大量真实的东西。而且，在历届总统中，他是最逗比、幽默和真性情、最接近正常人的一位。

信仰的力量让他戒了酒当了总统。字里行间能感受到他的率真，在众多严肃话题之外，能调侃挖苦自己的地方是一点没手软。在位时习惯被群嘲，退位后反而变成了国宝，画的画也是赞誉一片。功与过，从来都不是当下能评判的。

能写就已经代表勇气和品性，尽管很多地方还是语焉不详或者无法自圆其说。
