Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning by Liz Cheney

4.0

The purpose of this book is to document in simple terms for the layman who did what when with regards to January 6th -- both before the attack on the capital and after. It documents the efforts to push back on Trumps attempts to steal the election, and how republican's ended up falling in line behind Trump after the attack. It also details how the January 6th comittee came about and conducted it's work, as well as the comittee's results.

This book is clear and concise in detailing the events. It's clear that documenting how the house, and the republican members of the house, reacted to Trump's attempt to overthrow the election is the purpose of this book. The author knows that historians will use this in the future when writing their own papers and history books, and therefore works to state things without aggrandizement or exaggeration. There's some political speech that leaks in at points, but it never gets in the way of detailing who acted honorably and forthright in the author's opinion.

TL;DR This book is worth a read, especially If you want to know how the republican party in the house failed when it came to Donald Trump and January 6th.
