I reviewed Hillary Clinton and Keren Yarhi-Milo’s edited volume "Inside the Situation Room" for @foreignpolicy.com. The book manages to be interesting and absurd at the same time. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/look-whos-...

I present my review of "Unfettered," John Fetterman's memoir. In between petty grievances about doing his job, Fetterman asserts that he's feeling good.
Two days after "Unfettered" came out, Fetterman fell directly on his face from ventricular fibrillation, a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder.
