Description

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

The former attorney general provides a candid account of his historic tenures serving two vastly different presidents, George H.W. Bush and Donald J. Trump.

William Barr’s first tenure as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush was largely the result of chance, while his second tenure under President Donald Trump a deliberate and difficult choice. In this candid memoir, Barr takes readers behind the scenes during seminal moments of the 1990s, from the LA riots to Pan Am 103 and Iran Contra. Thirty years later, Barr faced an unrelenting barrage of issues, such as Russiagate, the COVID outbreak, civil unrest, the impeachments, and the 2020 election fallout. One Damn Thing After Another is vivid, forthright, and essential not only to understanding the Bush and Trump legacies, but also how both men viewed power and justice at critical junctures of their presidencies.

Reviews

  • Superbly written

    There’s something in this book to trigger both sides in this divided nation. I found the very concise and well written. There’s no doubt that this man spent a career as an attorney. There’s not a lot of emotional fluff. It’s is as a series of facts, through his eyes, explanation, and details. It’s almost encyclopedic, but thought provoking and a good read. I developed a lot of respect for this man reading this.
  • Interesting history

    Good review of history from George HW Bush to Trump as told by a sound voice in the midst of it all. Highly recommended.

    I was hoping he could bring a non partisan look at the offices he held….but to no avail. Just another read that shows how “stuck” we are as a people. No give on either side….frustrating read.

    Unlike most “political” books, this one presents well reasoned conclusions based on facts. Clearly written by a man who loves this country, the fascinating history of the rise and self-inflicted fall of President Trump is an agonizing tale that brings to mind Aristotle’s analysis of drama and the hero’s fatal flaw.
