Book Shark: Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy by Jamie Raskin

“Unthinkable” is an excellent memoir by Congressman Jamie Raskin. Raskin deals with two unthinkable traumas: the tragic suicide death of his beloved 25-year old son, Tommy, and the violent insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021. This is one of the best memoirs I have ever read. This captivating 444-page includes fourteen chapters broken out into three parts.

Positives:
1. A professional-written, heartfelt book.
2. As interesting a topic as you will find, dealing with two unthinkable traumas simultaneously: suicide of a beloved son and the January 6 Insurrection.
3. Heartfelt thoughts throughout the book. “If a person can grow through unthinkable trauma and loss, perhaps a nation may, too.”
4. In some respects this book is a tribute to Raskin’s beloved son, Tommy. His presence and thoughts are imprinted in this book and that’s a good thing. “The theme of Tommy’s life was comprehensively “utilitarian,” as Tabitha put it: always advancing the greatest good for the greatest number of people—and the greatest number of animals, maximal happiness and...

T in Suffolk: Raskin tells his compelling story in a truthful and moving way. You don't need to have an interest in politics to appreciate this man's journey.

Thomas E. Reed: Before his election as a U.S. Representative, Jamie Raskin was a constitutional law professor who recognized the need for legal knowledge and its accurate representation in Congress. His 2022 book Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy documented the factual and constitutional evidence for the unprecedented second impeachment of a U.S. president. Before former president Donald Trump’s first impeachment only two presidents had been impeached: Andrew Johnson and William Clinton. Now there have been four impeachments and Donald Trump has two of the four. Three days after the attack U.S. House Resolution 24 charged President Donald Trump with "incitement of insurrection" and argued for his impeachment, trial, removal from office, and an official prohibition of him every holding another office of public trust. That would mean he could never again exercise and abuse the power of the presidency. No U.S. president has ever been found guilt of an impeachable offense or removed from office. Former president Richard Nixon was told by fellow Republicans Senators that he would be found guilty and removed from office. With that knowledge he resigned before he was...

S. B. Algar: Unthinkable is a book that once read, will not be forgotten. Congressman Raskin's searing account of the tragic suicide of his son Tommy, paralleled with the detailed account of the January 6 insurrection of our Democracy, is insightful and poignant. It is difficult to put down and Jamie Raskin deserves the utmost praise and respect for speaking about his personal tragedy as well as the unforgettable day when a coup was fomented by our President and his terrorist cult members. Amazingly this overthrow of power was thwarted and we owe much to those like Congressman Raskin, who still abide by the U.S. Constitution, despite the will of many to tear it apart.

MeanJoe: Let me set the stage. I didn"t know it was a Congressman that wrote it and probably wouldn't have bought it had I known. I read about 35 books a year and rarely review or comment on them. I picked up this book and just want to keep reading until i finish it. It's good. Really good. You will not be disapointed, well worth your time and money.

Spicy Laura: This book takes you inside the inner workings of a group of Americans trying to save their democracy. But more importantly, it takes you inside a man and a family who suffered unthinkable loss. Jamie Raskin honours his beloved Tommy with this powerful tribute.

Phil: I read the book during early January 2022 and feel saddened that the deep lessons weren’t realised. Keep Tommy in your thoughts and continue your work Jamie.
