One Damn Thing After Another

Book 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 political 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 the rule of law, power, and justice at critical junctures of their presidencies.

Barr’s unflinching account offers a rare look at:

Bush to the unrelenting political storms of the Trump White House.Department of Justice Insider: Go behind the scenes of the DOJ to witness firsthand the response to seminal events like the LA riots, the Pan Am 103 bombing, and Iran Contra.Russiagate and the 2020 Election: Get an unfiltered look at the investigations that defined a presidency, including the Mueller report, the impeachments, and the contentious aftermath of the 2020 election.Executive Power and the Law: Explore the critical constitutional questions and challenges to the rule of law that confronted two administrations at historic turning points.
