This book is interesting at many points, but it can get very boring. It is written as a journal, that keeps track of President George W. Bush’s life almost day by day, for the days immediately following the attacks of September 11th. The book starts out very good, but that’s the climax of the book. The book starts off at its climax, and just dies from that point on. The book starts out with the terrorist attack of September 11th, and is very interesting, but the rest of the book is very hard to read. It has less detail, and a lot of it is repetitive. At least half of the book is saying that Bush is either writing a speech, talking about classified information in a meeting, or traveling to a different state. There is also good information in this book as well, that is very interesting. People should read this book for that good information, and also to see the tragedy of this time in a completely new prospective. I really liked reading about this from the prospective of someone high up in the government. If you can focus on the interesting facts, like the threats and military strategies, the book is possible to get through. If you don’t focus on the interesting facts, than the book could be very hard to read. The book has a lot of information in it, and can be overwhelming unless you pick out certain details. The major message is to inform the audience on what President Bush did after the attacks, but a lot of the facts are very broad and almost seem like propaganda in a lot of cases. It seems like Bob Woodward may have wrote this book to influence people to agree with his opinion. Knowing that though, if ignore the instances where you feel like you’re being persuaded than you can understand the true meaning of the book. The book is about how Bush reacted to the attacks in a political, military, and executive fashion. He reacts in a political fashion by confronting the public with speeches and visits. He reacted in a military fashion by deciding to go to war right away, and creating a new strategy for war. He did this by doing a bombing campaign, and started by destroying the bottom of the loop of the Taliban and al Qaeda first. He would than work his way up to their main leaders. He reacted in an executive fashion by having multiple meetings a day, to make decisions about what to do and how to do it. This book is interesting at some points, but it can get very boring.
