Build Back Better by Kelly Hyman

Title: Build Back Better - The First 100 Days of the Biden Administration, and Beyond
Author: Kelly Hyman

An interesting brief insight into the first 100 days of the Biden administration. 

Kelly Hyman is a former actress and attorney who is often seen in American media in the role of political commentator and strategist. 

The books starts with a short summary of Hyman's background to, I'm guessing, set the scene for the information and political outlook presented in the book. 

The next 40 pages include a short summary of promises made by the Biden team on the campaign trail. This is followed by Hyman's narrative around a selected number of policy areas, including Covid-19, infrastructure and the economy, healthcare, environment, foreign policy, immigration, gun safety, equity for everyone, democracy, liberty and justice. Each section is divided into the promises made for that policy area, followed by the accomplishments and next steps.

After these dives into the various key policy areas, we find 50 pages of a selection of abbreviated records of President Biden’s activities during his first one hundred days in office. We find summaries of executive orders, cabinet confirmation, proclamations, and memorandum listed for each relevant day. 

All in all, a short book with a summary, from a Democratic, although fairly balanced, viewpoint of the start to Biden's presidency.
