Brief Read of "Decision Points"




My History Can Beat Up Your Politics show

Summary: A look at former President George W. Bush's memoir "Decision Points" with a bit of historical context. As in several aspects of his Presidency, President Bush took a different path from his own father's reticence about memoirs. George H.W. Bush didn't write a memoir, though he did publish a book of letters. George W. Bush went immediately to writing his memoir days after his Presidency ended. While little in the book is a surprise, it does add some perspective that will be part of the discussion as current voices and historians look at his Presidency.
