Review:

Schiff humanized himself immediately by putting a dad joke in the dedication.  He clearly has a great editor.

This book explains a lot of the behind-the-scenes work on the first impeachment.  It also explains some of the thinking behind how Schiff and others dealt with the former president.  This is not a comprehensive query, but it is a real-time effort by an active participant to start building the historical record and to start identifying what we need to do for the future.
