In Decision Points, President Bush writes candidly about, among other topics, his decision to run for the presidency; how he chose his closest advisors, including Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and Condoleezza Rice; the terrorist attacks of 9/11; the decisions to send American troops to Afghanistan and Iraq; the response to Hurricane Katrina; his commitment to fight AIDS around the world; the formation of his stem cell research policy; his relationships with his father, mother, siblings, and wife; his decision to quit drinking; and how he found faith.

Said Tina Constable, Senior Vice President, Publisher, "As readers will soon discover, Decision Points is a nontraditional presidential memoir that renders in vivid detail the circumstances in which President Bush made some of the most historically defining decisions of our era. It is exciting to be able to publish this news-making book across multiple platforms-print, audio, and digital-to bring history alive for readers."
