One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General

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.

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 explanations with respect to most thorny issues, (Russiagate, Comey, Impeachments, Epstein, Election Fraud…), he does come across as a patriot and one who served for the greater good of our country, not personal gain, which he didn’t need. Barr was happily and comfortably retired with his wife newly recovered from cancer and not happy at all with the tho’t of him re-entering public, political service.The first third of the book is focused on Barr’s biography, family history, the stuff that prepared him to serve not once, but twice, (Bush & Trump), as Attorney General of the United States. Only one other man has done this and he’s the only one to do so in two different centuries. His additional work history is varied and prepared him well for this demanding position.Barr is adamant in his political views which will not sit well with some readers. He’s a Republican but not opposed to bipartisanship. He is opposed to extremism, left, right or wherever it comes from. Barr is not shy sharing his feelings about those he believes are pushing our country into Marxism and spends a lot of pages providing supporting examples.As this is classified a memoir, there are no notes; it’s Barr’s memories of events. There is an extremely detailed index that is NOT interactive in the Kindle version but it does have subcategories. The index on Donald Trump is multiple pages and can be enhanced by location, event or date and there are other well detailed entries.There are 30 pictures included that you might miss in the Kindle edition. You need to flip to the “Photo Section” and click on the blue highlighted words. It takes a few seconds to access but my iPad Pro showed a small 2” x 3” photo, one per screen, some in color, some in sepia and others in black & white. They are a very interesting collection of Barr’s history in political service.Seven plus months until the midterms are upon us. Life here in the USA is volatile while we watch the horrors being perpetrated by Putin upon the democracy of Ukraine. The stock market is tumbling; gas, oil, food and durable goods are rising too fast for most folks to manage and talk of recession is no longer an occasional whisper.While this isn’t an hard hitting, investigative volume, Barr’s memoir is an opportunity for concerned citizens to have a view of what went right and what most definitely did not prior to our next opportunity to have our voices heard📚

I didn't know what to expect when I started this book, but it's an eye-opening read about both Barr and Washington. He clearly didn't write this book to make friends, and it's a startlingly honest read destined to enrage both the MSNBC crowd and MAGAland alike. Readers with open minds will learn a lot from it.

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.

Having read many biographies by political or public figures, Iam usually left thinking they weren't revealing, witty or interesting.That is definitely not the case here. What a great book! It is a wonderfulread from beginning to end. This book answers many questions and it providesgreat insight into all the administrations he served in, especially the TrumpAdministration.Bill Barr is a man of true consequence bothprofessionally and as a human being. His observations and commentsabout President Trump are fair. Whether you like or dislike President Trump,It is clear Bill Barr gave the best advice possible at all times, but hewould not sacrifice his integrity for anyone. or to fit any narrative.I highly recommend this book. It is also very well written, coherent and itflows beautifully. His dry wit is everywhere. Get it. You won't be sorry.

The author has written what should be considered one of the definitive accounts of the Trump years. The book contains balanced, thoughtful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of President Trump, bringing the perspective of one who had served under two previous presidents. Barr writes in a very readable, accessible style that is a pleasure to read.

Add this book to your bookshelf of Trump Administration officials looking to rehabilitate their brand/image and rewrite history. You can just see the wheels turning in Barr’s head as he watched the latest outrage, figuring out how he could make himself look good in his planned book. Another “only adult in the room” apologist.
