Decision Points

By George W. Bush , ex president of USA , and one of the most controversial leaders of the modern world .

In this book George Bush really wants to clean is image , by saying the truth. In my opinion he manages to do exactly that in this great book , and I mean great because it really amazes you with pure honesty. The fails and the lies of a president that now assumes difficult decisions and moments of his life in this book , showing anyone who reads it that words can be just as powerful as actions.

Maybe in a few years people will redeem you mr . President.

"Decision Points brings readers inside the Texas governor's mansion on the night of the 2000 election, aboard Air Force One during the harrowing hours after the attacks of September 11, 2001, into the Situation Room moments before the start of the war in Iraq, and behind the scenes at the White House for many other historic presidential decisions.

For the first time, we learn President Bush's perspective and insights on:
  • His decision to quit drinking and the journey that led him to his Christian faith
  • The selection of the vice president, secretary of defense, secretary of state, Supreme Court justices, and other key officials
  • His relationships with his wife, daughters, and parents, including heartfelt letters between the president and his father on the eve of the Iraq War
  • His administration's counterterrorism programs, including the CIA's enhanced interrogations and the Terrorist Surveillance Program
  • Why the worst moment of the presidency was hearing accusations that race played a role in the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina, and a critical assessment of what he would have done differently during the crisis
  • His deep concern that Iraq could turn into a defeat costlier than Vietnam, and how he decided to defy public opinion by ordering the troop surge
  • His legislative achievements, including tax cuts and reforming education and Medicare, as well as his setbacks, including Social Security and immigration reform
  • The relationships he forged with other world leaders, including an honest assessment of those he did and didn’t trust
  • Why the failure to bring Osama bin Laden to justice ranks as his biggest disappointment and why his success in denying the terrorists their fondest wish—attacking America again—is among his proudest achievements
A groundbreaking new brand of presidential memoir, Decision Points will captivate supporters, surprise critics, and change perspectives on eight remarkable years in American history—and on the man at the center of events."

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

Xmas is almost here isn't it? well...

If you want to buy a great book , and want that book to be the greatest gift under xmas tree , here you have it .


Written by Stieg Larsson , a Swedish journalist and writer , who was  the 2nd best-selling author in the world in 2008, and became famous due to the Millennium trilogy, which has sold over 27 million units till March 2010.


( Also to be more clear , its a great book that will for sure grab anyone who reads it to the story )


The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
 
is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned. --Dave Callanan"
