George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States.
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.
写于2011年9月 说起小布什基本上是在国内媒体上充斥了娱乐版块的,2叔的称号也被喊得非常顺嘴。不过,其实他是很值得我们学习与尊重的。一个德克萨斯牛仔风格的总统,没有很多人那种成为领导人物就变得装模作样,而是始终个性十足,提倡plain english, 从来不整那些虚的...
评分读过《抉择时刻》 2011-12-12 17:07:41 乔治•沃克•布什《抉择时刻》,中信出版社,2011年 今年我读的新书并不多,倒是很多老书时常翻翻,如贡斯当《古代人的自由与现代人的自由》、奥尔森《权力与繁荣》、哈耶克《通往奴役之路》、埃德蒙•柏克《自由与传统》等。这...
评分美国总统大选落下帷幕,奥巴马以微弱优势获得连任——Another four years to go. 不知怎么地想到了奥巴马的前任,小布什。去年5月读了他的回忆录Decision Points《抉择时刻》。本来是不会看的,因为深受我的导师朋友,美国律师马丁 (http://book.douban.com/doulist/562082/)...
评分落潇/文 人过留名,雁过留声,乔治-沃克-布什也没有例外,《抉择时刻》就是这位21世纪初美国连任两届的总统布什的著作。文中有他身为丈夫的身影,有他身为一国之首的形象,更有他鲜为人知的众多往事。 2001年的911事件,让我内心中充满了暗暗的喜悦,因为美国的强大和暴戾让...
评分“每次想到这件事,我就有一种恶心的感觉,直到现在还是这样。”小布什说的是伊拉克战争,因为这场战争,他成了争议人物。 每个总统都注定会被歪曲,因为他的决策必将伤害某些人的利益,并给另外一些人带来好处。政治这只不均衡的手,使操作它的每个人要么被偶像化,要么被妖...
啃了原版,水平有限,所以很多地方读得不清楚。尊敬和喜欢小布什,认为他是那种会犯错但有坚定原则和决心且不随波逐流的政治家(而非政客),他在世界范围内推进民主的举措虽符合美国国家利益(米国白左反对不少),亦是世界之幸。相较比之,无担当而只会耍嘴皮的奥巴马黑渣实在猥琐不堪。
评分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。
评分小布什的8年,是战争的八年,不,是国家安全的8年。
评分You won't understand President Bush until you read Decision Points. This book makes me feel humble; and I surely feel ashamed of what I'd ever felt about President George W. Bush. How naive, how premature, how stupid. I was lost, and now I am, well, a bit, found.
评分对比现在局势,布什几年前的判断和现实其实没什么区别。
