W. Bush. Thirty years later, he returned to the role under Trump. Though not a fan of Trump's impulsive behavior, Barr supported many of his policies and was concerned that a duly elected President was being unjustly attacked. With the country careening toward a possible constitutional crisis, Barr believed those with the ability to help needed to step up when asked regardless of the challenges ahead. A tumultuous two years followed, as Barr confronted some of the greatest controversies of our time. Here he gives his unsparing perspective on all of it, making [this book] essential reading for understanding the Bush and Trump legacies and how both men viewed power and justice at critical junctures of their presidencies" -- Back cover. 600 10 $a Barr, William Pelham, $d 1950- 610 10 $a United States. $b Office of the Attorney General $b Office of the Attorney General $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 650 0 $a Attorneys general $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989-1993. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2017-2021. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021251.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230411010529.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221202011732.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20220927012714.0 952 $l HHPC765 $d 20220517010511.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220517010421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A89958D2D5A611ECB9FA047A3CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
