Early endorsements from leaders, scholars, and diplomats who witnessed the events of February 2026 firsthand.
"Augie Fabela writes not as a distant commentator, but as a first-hand participant — one who chose to stay and stand in solidarity with the UAE. His unique perspective, as an eyewitness to a defining moment, captures our nation's strength, vision, and tenacity."
"This is an exceptional book about tenacity, courage and resilience. Not surprising for those of us who have followed Augie Fabela's amazing career since the 1990s. The book tells a story of the perfect match between Augie and the UAE: inspiration, vision, commitment, brave choices, and disciplined execution."
"When Augie called asking if the races would go on, my answer was immediate: 'Brother, this is Dubai, why would we cancel?' This book captures the spirit of Dubai with the insight of someone who has lived crisis leadership his entire career."
"Fabela's D.E.C.I.D.E. framework finds compelling validation in the UAE's crisis response — an important contribution to crisis leadership from a Stanford-educated entrepreneur witnessing his principles executed under live fire."
