The former Chancellor of Germany , Gerhard Schröder , stated , " The former American president is not telling the truth . " He was referring to Bush 's allegation that Schröder had promised to support the 2003 invasion of Iraq . Schröder responded that he had promised only that he would support action against Iraq if Iraq were found to have been involved in the September 11 attacks . " This connection , however , as it became clear during 2002 , was false and constructed . " '' The Daily Telegraph '' ran a negative review by journalist Mick Brown . Brown remarked that " Bush is no great literary stylist " and that the " writing seldom rises above the workmanlike " while some " language is distinctly odd . " Brown stated that Bush comes across as " likeable " , but Brown concluded that " conspicuously absent from this book is any acknowledgement , or even honest appraisal , of the larger failings of his presidency "
