Decision Points by George W. Bush

Like the author, this book is free of pretense, careful, serious, committed and spare. It is presidential in tone and will read well 75 years from now. Though a husband and father and a son and brother, for eight years he was president every day. September 11 changed every day that followed. Readers who are fair-minded will note a lack of defensiveness and many admissions of some doubts about process, but seldom any doubts about goals or the goals of what he sees as America's enemies.
