Obviously there's going to be some bias, but it's interesting to get some background and rationale for the decisions that were made. Whether you think what is said is perfectly honest or not is another question, but personally I enjoyed what seemed like a candid recollection of events. It's not as sexy as The Big Short, and maybe not as academic as other financial crisis books, but I thought it was all-around helpful in better understanding the levers that were pulled and why they were pulled. In hindsight Bernanke also points out some things that he would have done differently, which assured some of my fears over potential bias. The book is less about why and instead more about what they did in reaction to the crisis. Yes, he gives good enough background to understand why they took the steps they did, but he doesn't really dive into the rabbit hole of federally-backed mortgages and lack of oversight. Overall worth the read in my opinion.
