About Decision Points
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.
In this new published video, Bush describes his upcoming new book “Decision Points”:
George Walker Bush was the 43rd President of the United States, serving from 2001 to 2009, and the 46th Governor of Texas, serving from 1995 to 2000. Bush is the eldest son of President George H. W. Bush, who served as the 41st President, and Barbara Bush, making him one of only two American presidents to be the son of a preceding president.
Recommended Editions for the Discerning Collector
Easton Press – George W. Bush “A Charge to Keep” Signed First Edition
In 1999, Easton Press published a leather bound signed first edition of “A Charge to Keep”.

Each copy also included a certificate of authenticity and collector’s notes. learn more
Collector’s Corner – Presidential Autographs
Many collectors choose to build their library around the presidents. Collecting presidential autographs can be one of the best thrills but at the same time can be quite tedious. The fact of the matter is, each presidential signature has its own story about the uniqueness of the presidents’ expression.
This is going beyond just the technical lines of the autograph itself. For example, the way in which a person presents their signature may be an insight into who they are as a person. This is precisely why collecting presidential autographs can be such a rewarding hobby.

Why the book now? Is he trying to repair his reputation for the condition he led this country into during his 8 years? Yeah George, methinks you have some ‘splaining to do. Can’t believe he has a direct address to the reader on youtube lol. As always, it appears he’s saying someone else’s words, reading from cue cards. Five words: Thank God for Barack Obama!
-
5 Better Words: Thank God For January 2012. When Barack Obama is finally out of office and the country can return to its normal standing. When we can finally stop “hoping” and start “doing” things to make America what it was and should be.
-
2012 is not technically a word. It’s a number. So you have 4 words and 1 number.
But that’s alright. nobody’s perfect.-
Actually 2012 is a symbol meaning two thousand and twelve, so there are 8 words. But that’s alright. Nobody’s perfect
-
-
Don’t think Barrack will be gone in January 2012 since the election is not until November 2012……..Nobody’s Perfect
-
Actually the election will be in November 2011 and the new president will be sworn in January 20, 2012
-
Actually, the election of 2012 will be held in 2012…and the presidential inauguration will be held on January 20, 2013…it’s not that complicated…

Our current president reads from a Teleprompter … what’s the damn difference stupid? I do believe our current president sends crap out on you tube as well!… If you read the book, or listened to an interview, he never gave way to him morals…no matter what public opinion was. Cant say that for our current failure in power! He kisses everyone’s ass, including his illegal immigrant aunt, half sister who’s Indonesian and step brother who lives in a grass hut in Africa. And we seriously think he’s an American citizen. Can’t wait another 2 years before we can kick him out. That is…if I’m not a Muslim, and have any money left!
-
“what’s the d@mn difference stupid?”
“a grass hut in Africa”
Nice adjectives and expletives. You’re truly a great thinker.
“he never gave way to him morals”
I didn’t understand that one. Did you mean ‘his’ morals? Which morals are you referring to, exactly?
-
I’m glad your world turned on its head a minority was sworn into the most powerful position in the U.S.–and quite possibly in the world.
If you’re questioning if Pres. Obama’s a Native American, he’s not. I’m sure you’re not either…! So, go back on your boat to whichever European country your ancestors were forced to leave.
I would respect you more if you discussed Decision Points instead of going on a Fox News tirade.
-
-
Thank God for Barack? The current president is spending America straight into another depression. About the cue cards, he isn’t much better. He’s using the teleprompter
-
Hmmm… well he’s not in favor of outsourcing millions of jobs offshore like the last President was. In case you were not aware, the current recession started while Dubya was in office. Obama is simply the proud inheritor of the disaster little Georgie made of this country.
About the cue cards, au contraire, he’s a lot better. With Obama, I get the sense that he actually understands what he’s reading (and likely had a hand in writing it). Georgie – not so.
-
-
With regards to the anti-President George W. Bush sentiments, I must state: “Are your replies from 2008?” “Or have you been living in a “coma’ for the past 2 years?
The city of Detroit has a current unemployment rate hovering around “25!”
The U.S. economical outlook is unfortunately “bleak” at best!Our country voted in an individual, President
Obama-
The recession started during Bush’s illustrious 2nd term. I never expected the next guy, whoever it ended up being, to be able to clean up Bush’s 8-year mess over night.
-
Obama has been in office for over 2 years now…I think its about time that everyone stop blaming Bush…Obama could have fixed SOMETHING by now…but hasn’t! Instead he is making more of a mess and the G20 summit proved this.
-
Over two years now? What calendar you using? Yeah you’re right. We should stop blaming Bush. That’s what he wants
-
-
The democratically controlled congress also started in “Bush’s illustrious 2nd term”, what’s your point? That congress controls spending? Excellent point. The economy went into the crapper when the Dems showed up. Funny how the economy perked up under Bill Clinton (hint: Republican congress 1994)
Stop spending my money for me. -
Keeping it simple…Clinton signed NAFTA into law. Dem’s have had Congress for 6 years now and the senate for 2. So by your way of thinking, if the economy turns around, it will be thanks to uncle Barry’s wisdom…and what would that be? Oh yeah, extending the Bush tax cuts! Also, education does not equal intelligence, so stop with the “you can’t spell” comments and talk about why Obama can’t lead. He is an arrogant, hand fed, talking head who couldn’t lead his way out of George Bush’s shadow!
-
-
-
It amazes me how stupid people can be. Barack Obama has done nothing for our country, besides give us more debt. And for all the people that think President Bush is this awful person that doesn’t care about America, what was he supposed to do on 9/11, and what was he supposed to do about going to war? What would you have done in those situations, when the people of America are looking up to you? So don’t just make conclusions. The man’s job was to protect our country from attack, and he did.
-
What has Barack Obama done for this country? What “changes” has he made. How has he helped the economy, how has he been better than President Bush?
-
Thanks for writing the book President Bush and it has been great seeing you again!
-
I would like to see you make a decision after the country that your are the president of is attacked. Would you really not go into war? For as much challenges as that man put up with, he still did a pretty gosh darn job.
-
President Bush has done more for this nation that Obama will ever do. After seeing him speak in person last night, I can tell how passionate he is about his presidency. He never cared about what is popular, only what is write. W will always have my support! God Bless him.
-
-
“my decision to set ideology aside to prevent an economic collapse” – did he really say that? wow
-
I find it odd that the space for comment should be occupied by political opinion rather than interest for the book itself. As an avid collector I have many books by historical figures, many of whom were controversial and some even monsterous. We should celebrate instead the fact a book is forthcoming tha may allow us the opportunity to examine the man behind the decisions (and yes, I have President Obama’s book already….).
-
Well Frank, he *is* a career politician. And imo, if we wanted to “examine the man behind the decisions,” that would be Cheney’s book.
-
I look forward to this memoir. I might not have agreed with all of his decisions as President, but I do know what he stands for, has overcome, and what he did for our great nation when we needed a leader the most. All politics aside, we should remember what he did for our nation! Former President Bush, Thank you for releasing your Memoir! I am excited to read it!
-
Well just what HAS he done for this nation? Hmmm… let’s see. He used a supposed “terrorist attack” (the results of which defy all laws of physics) as,
an excuse to drag this nation into a war for… how many years has it been now?
an excuse to promote American imperialism, as always, under the guise of defending democracy.
an excuse to deprive of us our constitutional rights via “the Patriot Act.”
He made a mess of this country and left it for the new guy to clean up. Am I missing anything?
-
Yeah, i think you’re missing the fact that Sept. 11 was a terrorist attack. btw, are you a physicist?
-
No. I just have a brain. “Building 7″ – heard of it? If not, try Google
-
There are also people out there that believe the moon landings are a hoax. Try Google. Just because it comes up in Google search does not mean it’s true.
-
-
-
Defies all laws of Physics. Hmm…
“Entropy is a thermodynamic property that is a measure of the energy not available for work in a thermodynamic process. It is defined by the second law of thermodynamics. In the microscopic interpretation of statistical mechanics, entropy expresses the disorder or randomness of the constituents of a thermodynamic system or, analogously, the availability of accessible quantum mechanical states. A closed system always tends towards achieving a state with a maximum of entropy”
That’s a small part of the physics I learned in school. You may want to rethink your education, if you spent anything other than other people’s hard-stolen tax dollars on it.
You might also want to study:
“Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon in which objects with mass attract one another.[1] In everyday life, gravitation is most familiar as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped.”
Or:
“Ductility is a mechanical property that describes the extent in which solid materials can be plastically deformed without fracture.
In materials science, ductility specifically refers to a material’s ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material’s ability to be stretched into a wire.”
Of course, you would also need to study thermodynamics, the chemistry of materials, statics, dynamics, statistics, and a whole stack of mechanical and/or civil engineering texts. When you do, we can talk.

I am very excited to read about the most wonderful Christian president in American history!! He was not perfetc, but he stood for God and His laws! God bless<
-
You go girl! There is NO other leader I would have wanted leading our great country after 911 then Goerge Bush. Hopefully history will point out all the good he did for this country!!!!
-
I agree with you! GWB was a most wonderful Christian president. His Christian values of supporting the death penalty and causing the deaths of tens of thousands of people by leading this country into an unjust war are Christian values at their finest. Amen!
-
Hey, Lauren. George Bush didn’t lead us into war! His council did! And if you want to go further, the war isn’t unjust. It’s a war against people that hate people like you and me for no reason at all. George Bush was the best president since Ronald Reagan and he lead this country better than your ignorant self centered president you call Barrack.

@Just Somebody,
Building 7 is not “true?” You mean…. it never existed? lol. You’re analogy is moot. Have you seen the footage of Building 7 imploding? That would be, NOT wtc1 or wtc2, but wtc7. I realize the fear most people have in this kind of discussion. I get that. Whatever you believe, it doesn’t change the fact that George is a sock puppet. Look at that video embed above and tell me he’s not.
-
Maybe the best thing we can say about Bush is that he was an honest man trying to do a good job and he made the best decisions he could make based upon the information at that time. I like all the arm chair quarterbacks who have never made a decision in their life that affected anyone but themselves.
-
Bush was a good president and is a wonderful man! The only reason we have the president we have now is because he is black. People wanted to be part of history and say they helped get the rst black president elected. He is worthless and does not really care about the people of this countyI am excited to read W’s book…i dont agree with him not pardoning the border patrol agents but all in all he did a great job!!
-
AMEN! Thank God for men like George Bush. I hear Gov Rick Perry who took office when George Bush became President, is now considering the Presidency. Maybe another Texas Govenor in the White House will be able to unscrew all the things OBama has and will continue to screw up in the future!!!
-
While I will respectfully disagree that Bush was a good president, he did face well the attacks on a nation, and we had 6 years of the most prosperous time in American history. This in know way excuses him from never vetoing a bill in 8 years as president. Nor does it excuse his lack of effort with the 110th Congress driving America in to the ground. And I will never forgive him for his total lack of effort in pointing out the flawed Frank-Dodd-Rangel committees, and the stupidity that came from them that gave people houses they could not afford, encouraged them to commit material fraud, and then hid the trail through series of Congressionally approved banking maneuvers.
This Congress and our current President are no better. Worthless buffoons who have nothing better to do than steal money from a nation, and spend it like no one is looking. Hopefully, we will have two years where nothing gets done in government. We need the rest!!
-
i totally agree with you! Barack Obama is the biggest mistake that the people who voted for him ever made, please don’t ever vote for someone that you know nothing about ever again..these people who thought he was going to be so great and bring so much change, boy they are sitting at home with no jobs, no health insurance, and we are paying all their bills but they are the first ones to complain about it…go figure.
-
-
Regardless of your slanted left wing attitude George Bush lead this country with all his heart and soul and yes with help from GOD. Remember God? We need him back in our hearts and schools and with luck another Christian leader that puts Americans first and doesn’t make promise after promise and excuse after excuse. A leader that LISTEN’s to the people he has been elected to serve. Not turning a blind ear to the majority and will be willing to compromise and listen NOT keep pushing for his own socialistic views and give away everything hard working Americans have fought and died for, only to find that their leader has failed to see the path of destruction he is trying to cram down our throats.
Enjoy your welfare state while it last, as for me and mine we do not want hand outs we want to work and contribute and continue making this the strongest most sought after Country to live in, in the world.
God Bless America and George Bush and pray to save our country before it is ruined beyond repair. -
We miss W ! What a class act.
What a great pleasure to see this good man be appreciated and respected again. -
======================
The Bible teaches that God is in charge of the placement of our rulers and leaders and I’m convinced that God put the best man in place to oversee a very difficult period in American history.I thank God that we had President Bush.
======================
(and for all the endless hatred and ugliness against him, he has not waded into that cesspool of hate that has surrounded him)-
N Waff,
So God was in charge of Hitler, Stalin, and all the great tyrants over the last century then? Interesting.
-
Yep, there called the Anti-Christ. If you would read Revelations then you would know you ignorant swine.
-
-

@AnEngineer
“…in know way excuses him” <– You just wrote that and you're talking to me about *my* education in your previous post? Um, thanks for the wikipedia definition of "entropy."
You missed this section though: "The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium." <– That means that such a structure would tip away from the center of gravity and not free fall in the direction of most resistance, neatly into a pile.
It's truly frightening to me that there are people who still believe the man gives a flying frog leg about the people of this nation, or that he's a good "Christian" – lol, tell that to the Skull and Bones society.

I must say his Interview with Oprah was the best ! Showing he is a human being that had a Very difficult job to do ! And no matter what religion we are ! We are not perfect in any manner. For the judges on here ? Must know your judgment will come someday as well . Or maybe be set by your own family structure . You set in your own home Values! But in the end you can clearly see . He did the best and has a Very Good Family Strength! And if you want to pick apart this book look at your self and understand one thing from it.Alcoholism is a disease that kills everyday ! And he can maybe,help some quit . Plus he still has strong Values within his family.Something America needs more touch with . I was raised catholic and am proud ! Don’t like others attaching what the devil has done to Gods World ! Don’t any of you get it ? Read the Book . It will be the Best Seller and he wasn’t my favorite .Till I watched him on Oprah ! Good Man

Starting random Words with Capital Letters when they Neither Start a sentence nor are proper Nouns makes My Point-of-view sound much more Intelligent.

Hitler had religious cooks who supported him too. Bush andcongress should be tried for war crimes against the people of Iraq. Too much money has been spent and too many people killed. Even bush himself admitted no wmds, which was primary reason for the invasion. So where is the accountability? This is beyond belief, to cause so much misery and pay no consequences.

I’ll NEVER FORGET on 9/11 when the secret service agent whispered to President Bush him what had just happened to the twin towers. Sitting there in front of a classroom of children, he didn’t flinch; he was stalwart. This is the kind of man I’m proud to call my president; a strong leader and a man of faith. NEVER FORGET!
I will read the book before passing judgment on it’s content. I will remember that not everything that happened is released to the public; nor should it…for our own good and safety it won’t be.
-
@Icook
Yep, he didn’t even flinch. Almost like it wasn’t a surprise to him at all…
In fact, he wasn’t even rushed out of there to an undisclosed location, as would be the norm in any other circumstance of such an “attack.”
Btw, while you’re enjoying the book, not judging him, do a google search for “Bush AND plagiarism AND memoir.”
-
Stop reading the Huff Post friend, perhaps then people will take you seriously.
-
Nice comeback Colleen. That’ll show ‘em!
-
-
-
-
I am reading the book and he didn’t flinch or rush out of that classroom on 9/11 because he knew his reaction (in front of children) was being recorded by the media and those few seconds would be a part of US History. His “lack” of emotion, set the tone that the United States of America would not cower from terrorists.
For all the folks who criticize President George W. Bush, thank a military person for defending your right to criticize him.
As President Bush would say, “God Bless America.”-
Oh, is THAT how his ghostwriter explained it in the book?
Yup makes perfect sense to maintain decorum in a situation where you *supposedly* don’t know if you are also an intended “target” … and oh yeah, your whereabouts is conveniently broadcast at that very moment.
It never ceases to amaze me how truly thick some people are. I feel so safe. Oh so safe, being stripped of more of my constitutional rights under the guise of “protecting” me, in the face of a war that was created for the purposes of imperial mobilization. Go Bushie!!
-
Shut up. The government isn’t here to kill you or take your life away. If you really want that feeling then go to china, I hear they’re taking rights!
-
-
-
Thank You President Bush for safe and wonderful 8 years. I miss you. I wish you were the president now.
Now everything is a mess, and hopefully in 2 years we’ll come again to straighten things out.
God Bless President Bush…-
Right, it was a safe and wonderful 8 years.. until 9/11 happened, which they failed to protect the nation from.
Anyway, everything is a mess because of the prior administration.-
Haha, probably. It’s been 2 years and your still blaming everything on Bush. Obama has tripled our debt with his brilliance
-
-
-
I felt so much safer when President Bush was in office. I believe he was one of the greatest/bravest presidents. He had a mess to clean up after President Clinton and he did the best he could. He defended this nation to the best of his ability, after all his main priority was “Commander in Chief”. I hope that 2012 will bring about another great leader and get this nonexperienced, no clue, wasteful, nonappreciative, nonunderstanding man out of the oval office and get someone who is ready to fight for america, understands the people, and will be willing to work day and night to protect this nation. God bless the USA! President Bush I miss you terribly and I wish you well!
-
Also, did anyone see him on jay Leno last night? it just shows you what a good man, class act, he is when Jay Leno asked him what he thinks about President Obama/the current economic situation he simply said “I find it distasteful for a leader to criticize his successor and i’m not going to do that”. however, every time i see Obama’s ugly mug on the tv he is constantly bashing president bush and blaming him for things that he has no clue what he’s even talking about. that my friends is the difference between a southern gentleman and a foreign thug!
-
Please do not be afraid!! Do your own research on what Bush knew on 9/11/01, there is enough hidden in plain sight to obviate his foreknowledge, if not complicity. Truth is absolute, it speaks for itself, and it shall set you free!

What kind of person would joke about war?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKX6luiMINQPlease help bring truth and reconciliation to honor the true ideals of America.
-
HAHAHAHA!!! Good one. One question though. What will I be set free from?
-
-
George go back to that cave you’ve been hiding in with Osama. It’s still not safe out here for you. Oh and while your in that cave think about this. Do you think anyone other then a texan oil man wants your book?
-
I want his book and I love in Indiana. I’m also 15, thus ruling out the possibility of me being an oil man. Osama’s dead buddy. George also wasn’t even in a cave when they shot this video…
-
-
Correction on who wants to buy your book. Texan women who are told what to do, say, wear and even told if they want to have sex with their daddy and give birth to their daddy’s baby want to buy it also. Oh and if you happen to be in Texas could you as a former president do something worth while and look into what you can do to help reduce violence on the borders so that your fellow baby lala’s will stop whining about it.
-
That wasn’t ignorant or completely stereotypical in any, way, shape, or form! You’re right Texans should be more like people from North Dakota… oh wait. How many people live in North Dakota? 6? 7? 3?!?! really? I was close
