One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General
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.

There isn't much substance to anything that Barr says anymore. He contradicts his own opinions in the press, and frankly doesn't deserve a dollar that this book generates. This work of fiction isn't full of truth nor substance.

I typically prefer YouTube for makeover tutorials, but this one is a real master class. How to do “smoky eyes”; which hairstyle is most flattering to a continuous stream of lies; moisturizing with oleaginous sycophancy to correct blotchy ethics; and how to soften and blur both yourself and documented history at any age. So many great tips!

This is an incredible story of the life of a great public servant. So many lessons about how government works and how public service operates at its finest. This was a courageous book to write and I couldn’t put it down even though it is over 600 pages. Strongly recommend.
