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.

美国前总统卡特在位的时候,并不大受欢迎。下了台,反成了活宝。 世界上有些人不适合当父亲,但适合当祖父,不适合当总统,但适合当前总统。小布什当政大部分时间,我都在美国,一直在观察、批评、甚至嘲笑。他下台之后,倒是颇为怀念。 作为一个前总统, 小布什的表...
评分今年小布什的弟弟,老布什的二儿子Jeb Bush(John Ellis Bush)又要出来选总统了,而对手很可能是希拉里克林顿,所以各种王朝之说甚嚣尘上。时代杂志也用了“权利的游戏”来形容这两家十多年来的政治纠葛,但封面照片上是小布什和克林顿两个前总统俱乐部成员友好的摆出的和谐姿...
评分1、书写的很厚道,大部分都是选择读者想看的那些决策内容、决策过程,写自己私生活的流水帐部分很少,不骗稿费。内容安排不是按照时间顺序,而是事件顺序。 2、感受最深的是顶住压力增兵伊拉克那一段,如果当时美军放弃了伊拉克,别说伊拉克毁了,现在的“阿拉伯之春”有没有...
评分有张照片让我印象深刻,一个小孩子踩着书,才能站高穿过写着脏话满是肮脏的墙看到墙外无比美好的世界。 也许大多数人会觉得这个世界并没有那么糟糕 但是应该会有人像我一样,身处大陆,轻易地就想放下自己的风度,放肆地大骂,他妈的这个操蛋的国家真是糟糕透了。 我不知道自己...
评分写于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...
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.
评分没想到布什的文笔这么有风格,看完以后真的很喜欢这个人
评分他不是一个人战斗,他是带领一群人去群殴
评分值得看,不矫情不端着,语言平实用词简洁还能顺便温习英语。
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。
