The ex-commander-in-chief sits down with National Geographic Channel to give a moment-by-moment account of the darkest days of his presidency--and the nation--in the utterly absorbing George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview. Read full review

All of us have common memories of that time. Yet this quiet but affecting program is Mr. Bush's story, told as only the man who was president on Sept. 11, 2001 could tell it. Read full review

National Geographic has a fascinating hour, George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview, in which the former president describes the whys and wherefores of his actions in the time immediately following the attack, and during the subsequent days. Read full review

In blunt and at times salty language, Bush gets to say exactly what 9/11 meant to him; it's visceral but only occasionally revelatory. We all know this story very well. Maybe too well. Read full review

Detailed, but not terribly illuminating. Read full review

For those in the middle, or historical scholars, this sit-down doesn't offer much that Bush hasn't said before. The value here is that it's all in one place. Read full review

As George W. Bush describes his thinking on September 11, it's hard not to wonder, well, what he was thinking. It's a mystery that remains unanswered in George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview. Read full review

I thnk NatGeo did a solid job with this interview. Interesting that it came out the same week as Dick Cheney's book. It's important that we have a record of what the Prez was thinking on such a historic day.
