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.

“The particulars of Barr’s travels in Republican circles may interest only a select group of readers, but what does grab wider attention is his pugnacious championing of conservative values…To sum up: conservatives, good; liberals, very bad; bagpipes rule; and Trump would have been great if only he wasn’t Trump.”

“Another casualty of the Trump administration tells his story…For all that Trump regularly berated him—the author remains a true believer not in the man but in the policies.”
