Synopsis

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.

About William P. Barr

A native New Yorker, William P. Barr earned his A.B. and M.A. degrees at Columbia University and his J.D. at George Washington University, after which he spent a decade practicing law at a Washington firm, interrupted by a stint serving in the Reagan White House. President George H. W. Bush successively appointed Barr Assistant Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and, finally, the 77th Attorney General. Barr retired in 2008 after fifteen years as general counsel of GTE Corporation and its successor company, Verizon, after which he served on a number of corporate boards and consulted for corporate clients. Barr agreed to serve as the 85th Attorney General for the last two years of President Trump's term.

Basically he lied about the Mueller report and enabled a criminal president until the very end. He is clearly a man without a principal to speak of whatsoever.

Great book

Goodreads review by Linda on March 08, 2022

Bill Barr gets his chance to set the record straight as he sees it, “One Damn Thing After Another”. My pre-reading expectation was to not like this book and to like Barr even less. After reading the almost 600 pages, my opinion of Barr is changed, to some degree. Altho’ there’s a bunch of CYA explana......more

Goodreads review by Scott on June 02, 2024

Despite its length and occasionally monotonous long-windedness, William P. Barr’s memoir “One Damn Thing After Another” was, for the most part, an engaging glimpse into the mind of a modern-day conservative, one that actually possesses a virtue that many of his Republican peers seem to currently lac......more

Goodreads review by Mark on March 28, 2022

One Damn Thing After Another William P. Barr Read this DAMN book! The author gives an “inside” no punches pulled narrative of the last several years of our political dysfunction. The best thing about the book, in my humble opinion, is this: If you are unwaveringly left, it will piss you off. If you are......more

Goodreads review by Downer.valgmail.com on March 17, 2022

Clearly Barr is a man of principles I really enjoyed this memoir. My only quibble is that it could have had better editing. Barr is not only an intelligent and accomplished lawyer, he shows himself to have a wide range of interests including bagpiping. This is also the most effective defense of cons......more
