George W Bush to admit 'flaws and mistakes' in memoir

George W Bush will admit his "flaws and mistakes" in a forthcoming memoir that will focus on 14 decisions made during his eight years in the White House.

According to Crown Publishing, Decision Points, will offer "gripping, never-before-heard detail" about key events such as the disputed 2000 election, the September 11 attacks and the launch of the war on Iraq.

Aided by a former White House speech-writer Chris Michel, Mr Bush also writes about his decisions on the financial crisis, Hurricane Katrina, Afghanistan and Iran, as well as discussing his battle with alcohol, his discovery of faith and family relationships.

George W Bush set to admit mistakes for the first time as he reveals new details on 9/11 in memoir

Let's hope George Bush has a good editor.

During his presidency, Mr Bush was pulled up so often for his mangling of the English language that a new term was coined for his verbal gaffes – ‘Bushisms.’  

Now he has put pen to paper for a new memoir to be published in November.

Although he has famously avoided acknowledging that he did anything wrong during his two terms in the White House, his publisher claims Mr Bush ‘writes honestly and directly about his flaws and mistakes, as well as his historic achievements.’
