Former U.S. President George Bush is set to admit his mistakes for the first time in a new memoir set to be published in November.
As president, Mr Bush was known for not acknowledging errors, but Crown Publishers, the company behind the book, said that he 'writes honestly and directly about his flaws and mistakes'.
The president's publisher has lifted the veil on the cover of the new book, 'Decision Points'.
It features a photo of Mr Bush alone with his thoughts, standing in the Rose Garden Colonnade, wearing a dark suit and holding a briefing book, his head turned slightly from the camera.
The publishers said the former president would also write about 'his historic achievements in reforming education, providing life-saving treatments for HIV/Aids and malaria for millions of people in Africa, safeguarding the country from another terrorist attack, and other areas.
Mr Bush has said he is not writing a traditional memoir but an account of key decisions in his life.
According to Crown Publishers, 'Decision Points' will offer 'gripping, never-before-heard detail' on such historic events as the September 11, 2001, attacks and the 2000 presidential election along with Bush's decision to quit drinking, his relationship with his family and other personal details.
'Since leaving the Oval Office, President Bush has given virtually no interviews or public speeches about his presidency,' Crown said in a statement.
