When I heard that President Bush wrote this book, not as a chronological memoir but one based on important decisions he had made during his Presidency, it sounded like a very interesting book to read. There is so much we do not know when it comes to what goes on behind the scenes of the most powerful leader in the word.
The book covers many important decisions that President Bush had to make on subjects like stem cells, the 9/11 attack, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, the financial crisis of 2007 and several more. The reader will get a very good perspective of what President Bush faced during his eight years in office.
This book did satisfy my expectations as to discovering so many things I did not know about how many of the President’s decisions were made. My main interest for buying this book was to find out more about the decisions that had to be made following the September 11, 2001 attack.
Whether or not you are a fan of George W. Bush, you should read this book with an open mind. That is what I did and as stated, I learned many things I did not know before. President Bush tells his story with candor and the reader will get the feeling that he did what he believed was the right thing to do at the time. Of course, as the President now states “when we look back there are no do-overs in the Presidency.” Decision Points kept my interest throughout the book. It is a book well worth reading. It is a fast read and entertaining with some humor added. Many of the reviews I have read are based on what people think of George W. Bush and are not really a review of this book. Don’t let that discourage you from reading this book.
