Mr. Book just finished The Unraveling: Reflections On Politics Without Ethics And Democracy In Crisis, by Bob Bauer.

This book was published in June 2024.

The author has had a long career as a lawyer in Democratic Party politics, both representing candidates, political committees and also served as counsel during Clinton’s impeachment and as White House Counsel under Obama.

This memoir doesn’t give any real inside information on anything that Bauer handled in his career. The reader won’t learn anything that isn’t already known. While he covered many different topics about politics, he didn’t have anything new to say about any of it. It wasn’t a bad book, it was just one that adds nothing to the conversation.

I give this book a B.

Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, a B equates to 3 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
