    George W. Bush's “Decision Points” is one of the better presidential memoirs I have read in recent years.
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016*

I am usually very skeptical about reading memoirs written by former Presidents, world leaders, and business executives. They seem to spend most of their time trying to press their particular points of view on their readers in an effort to bend facts to their own political or personal agenda.It was in this frame of mind that I recently picked up “Decision Points,” former President George W. Bush’s memoirs of his eight years in office (2001-2009). After I finished reading it, I found myself very pleasantly surprised. “Decision Points” is unlike most other presidential memoirs I have ever read.“Decision Points” is a very personal book by a very controversial president. Bush spends very little time on policy discussions or historical narratives in this book. Rather, he attempts to give the reader an idea of what he was thinking and feeling when he made some of his most important decisions. To be sure, some of his conservative ideology creeps into his prose, and some of what he writes sounds as if he is making excuses for the decisions he made, but by and large, his writing is free from the harsh partisan rhetoric so common in political memoirs today.I was also quite pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality of the writing in “Decision Points.” George W. Bush employed Christopher Michel, one of his former speechwriters, to ghostwrite the book, and I think Michel largely got it right. As I read “Decision Points,” I could hear echoes and cadences of Bush’s best speeches. Bush/Michel’s prose is simple, straightforward, easy to read, and quite enjoyable.You may notice that I have very little to say in this review about George W. Bush the president. That is by design. I have my own opinions about the man and his presidency, and I intend to keep them to myself. However, I will say that in “Decision Points,” Bush made it easy for me to set aside whatever preconceptions I may (or may not) have had, and come away with an appreciation for who he was and what he did during his eight years as President. “Decision Points” is one of the better presidential memoirs I have read in recent years. Highly recommended.

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017*

Grorge Bush may have stumbled over and mispronounced words when he was speaking, but the words he put down in this book were clear, concise and wonderful!  He takes you through  most of his adult life.  His description of events on September 11th and the days ensuing are with compassion and clarity.  A great read for anyone interested in getting to know and understand the man  who was - and still is - maligned by the press and current administration.  i'm a fan. . .  .

    A breathtaking, in-depth overview of the logic by George Bush in making his decisions on domestic and foreign policy
  

*by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2015*

Having experienced the ups and downs of the Bush II presidency, "Decision Points" explores the logic behind the tough decisions that George Bush made during his time in office, including the Global War on Terror, the Patriot Act, the Iraq War, No Child Left Behind Act, Hurricane Katrina, and tax cuts.Looking at the first year of the Bush presidency pre-9/11, it is interesting that Bush's push for tax cuts and elementary education reform sat well with Democrats and Republicans alike, given that Democrats were in favor of social welfare. In stressing the need to update the education system for elementary kids, Bush burnished his reputation as a passionate conservative.Talking about Bush's response to 9/11, the Patriot Act was a smart domestic move by Bush because the Global War on Terror raised the specter of homegrown Islamic extremism in the US, meaning that Bush would have to arrest and jail any Muslim American who might be sympathetic to al-Qaeda or any other terrorist group. I think that Bush made the right decision to go into Afghanistan when deciding on where the Global War on Terror should start because the Taliban sheltered al-Qaeda, and because Powell didn't take Rumsfeld's recommendation that the US start the war in Iraq. By instructing the Pentagon to attack Taliban targets in Afghanistan and the CIA to aid the Northern Alliance and conduct covert operations against al-Qaeda, Bush articulated a thoughtful division of labor between the CIA and Pentagon as to how the War on Terror should be executed.When talking about criticism of his reasons for the Iraq War, I like how Bush regretted the intelligence failure on Iraq's WMDs, while balancing that regret with his knowledge of the fact that Saddam Hussein didn't deserve to be trusted because he gassed his people, invaded his neighbors, and tortured opposition figures (he would have offended Kurds and Shiites in Iraq if he had chosen to invite Saddam to a state dinner at the Oval Office).Regarding Hurricane Katrina, I have a feeling that Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina would have looked good in principle, only because he had to fend off obstruction by an non-cooperative city mayor in New Orleans who was incapable of satisfying the pleas of blacks who were trapped because of the hurricane.
