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.
George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States.
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/)...
评分点评各国领导人 在《抉择时刻》中,布什对多位世界领导人点评了一番。 评中国国家主席胡锦涛:“处事冷静,是个实干家”。“他处事冷静、思维敏捷,”布什如此描述胡锦涛主席,“他是一位专注国家内部事务的实干家。” 评英国前首相布莱尔:“我亲密的好朋友”。“我在世界舞台...
评分 评分小布什上台的时候没人会看好他,不如克林顿帅气和睿智,不如老布什稳重。我第一眼看到他就觉得他像个“Monkey”,其貌不扬,刚上台讲话的时候也没什么感染力,除了演讲稿写不错之外,其余没什么深刻的印象留下。随着他任期内不断发生的事件,他的一些风范慢慢显露出来,驾驭事...

对比现在局势,布什几年前的判断和现实其实没什么区别。
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。
评分他不是一个人战斗,他是带领一群人去群殴
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Kindle上看的第一本书 想起了布什退休时候网友做的一个视频“少了你世界缺少多少快乐”
