A gripping first-hand account from inside the halls of Congress as Donald Trump and his enablers betrayed the American people and the Constitution-leading to the violent attack on the Capitol on 6th January 2021-by the House Republican leader who dared to stand up to it.

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the US Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on the Capitol.

Liz Cheney, one of the few Republican officials to take a stand against these efforts, witnessed the attack first-hand, and then helped lead the Congressional Select Committee investigation into how it happened. In Oath and Honor, she tells the story of this perilous moment in US history, those who helped Trump spread the stolen election lie, those whose actions preserved the constitutional framework, and the risks the US faces and the worldwide implications.

Former United States Rep. Liz Cheney's new book, Oath and Honor, is a tour de force. The Wyoming Republican presents a fact-heavy account of former President Donald Trump's dishonest and dangerous attempt to steal the 2020 election.

Liz Cheney's book is a call to arms for every citizen to fight for this nation and democracy, and it is a warning to her Republican colleagues who are still defending the indefensible.
