Decision Points

This is a really, really good book.  Bush looks at major decisions he made before and during his years as president, and he analyzes them.  What was their significance?  Why did he choose the way he did?  Was he right or wrong?  What could he have done instead?  The analysis is actually really good, and while I don't know whether or not a political scientist would like the book, the historian in me loved it.

Especially the bit where I was reading about his hopes for Egypt about two days after Mubarak was forced out.  I was impressed.
