One Damn Thing After Another

by William P. Barr

The former Attorney general provides a candid account of his historic tenures serving two vastly different presidents, George H.W. Bush and Donald J.

One Damn Thing After Another is vivd, 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.
