SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 FT BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2021Racial divisions play out as starkly in the workplace as they do in wider society.

But the honest conversations we need to have to foster that change can be uncomfortable - and are all too often avoided.Drawing together years of academic research from the fields of psychology, sociology, management, and behavioural economics, Robert Livingston has created the ultimate solutions-oriented guide for those who want to transform the social order, but are unsure of how to go about it. With clarity, wit and deep understanding, The Conversation aims to combat this uncertainty by increasing confidence, capacity, and commitment to engaging in racial dialogue.In helping us to better understand how effective discussion is key to resolving the problem of racism in society and the workplace, The Conversation is an essential tool for uprooting entrenched biases and transforming well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions and measurable outcomes.________________"A critical resource for those committed to combating bias and expanding inclusion and belonging."-Brian Chesky, CEO of AirBnb "An absolutely critical contribution to the much needed efforts to understand and combat racism in the corporate realm. Compulsory reading for all serious leaders and people who aspire to lead."- Nels Abbey, author of Think Like A White Man

"This is a superb book—beautifully written, engaging, and punchy. It tells Bob Livingston’s own great American story, gives an inside view of historical events, and provides a trenchant analysis of two phenomenon that are corrupting our justice system—Lawfare and the thuggish behavior of a certain prosecutors fixated on headhunting  rather than justice.”—WILLIAM P. BARR, former Attorney GeneralFORMER CONGRESSMAN BOB LIVINGSTON HAS A WARNING FOR ALL AMERICANSLAWFARE IS A WEAPON THAT IS DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES AND RUINING PEOPLE’S LIVESTHE POLITICIZATION OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM MUST END NOWLawfare has been with us since the inception of the country. Both Democrat and Republican prosecutors and investigating agents have misused their authority to pursue otherwise innocent victims over time.  But with the arrival of Hillary Clinton at the White House, the practice was refined in tandem with her efforts to pursue all those who offered public criticism about her husband and the Clinton Administration. She was and is as corrupt as anyone in American politics.  Her “war rooms” in the White House, the Senate, and at the State Department sowed the seeds for ongoing corruption within the Department of Justice.Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, once denied a seat on the Supreme Court, adopted the practice of incredible abuse of the American judicial system with relish to accommodate the horribly corrupt Biden presidency and the Democrat agenda. AG Garland was unrestrained in his persecution of innocent Americans, be they protestors at school board meetings, religious and right to life advocates, non-violent January 6’ers, current and former Republican Members of Congress, and last but certainly not least, the past and current President of the United States.In THE RAINBOW CHASER, former Congressman Bob Livingston lays-out the abuses of power and the weaponization the judicial system that almost destroyed him, his company and staff, his family, and many more innocents, and offers solutions to this national disgrace, including pushing Congress to waive all immunity from prosecutors or investigators who without probable cause target and persecute individuals for personal or political reasons. And once provided full due process, such persons should be held accountable civilly or criminally for misusing their awesome power of state over an individual.Livingston’s much praised first book, The Windmill Chaser, is a gripping and inspirational memoir recounting his life and work through his days in Congress and work with the Robert Livingston Group. And THE RAINBOW CHASER serves as its worthy sequel, and an indictment of corrupt political warfare being waged on the innocent, and rejection of abuses by specific individuals in the Democrat Party who transgress the American Constitution for political and personal ends. As a former prosecutor and assistant U.S. Attorney at the DOJ in New Orleans – who worked with the FBI—Livingston is the right person to wage a war of righteous integrity on abuses of the judicial system and bring those guilty of breaking the law for personal gain to justice.
