I swore I was through reading books about Donald Trump’s efforts to overthrow the government. But when my turn came up for the audio book at my library, I decided to listen to it. I watched every minute of the January 6th hearing that Mississippi congressman Bennie Thompson chaired. Liz Cheney was the ranking minority member. She narrated the book. One of the real bonuses of this book is the use of actual audio from the hearing sessions when she was talking about them. That really helped my understanding of the procedures even though I had watched them on television. I really wish every American would read Cheney’s book, but, unfortunately, those who need it the most—Republicans who refused to watch the proceedings—probably would never give a book like this the time of day. I have a good friend who happens to live in Bennie Thompson’s district in Mississippi. When he last visited, I mentioned how impressed I was with the way the congressman ran the January 6th Commission hearing sessions. My friend’s response was, “I didn’t see it.” It’s too bad that most Republicans probably feel this way. One of the most jarring things Liz Cheney said was that she never thought she would see the day when the Republican Party couldn’t be counted on the protect our republic, but that was the case now. This coming from one of the highest ranking Republicans in Congress….at least until she was primaried in the next election. If you are reading this review and you’re thinking, “I don’t want to read another book about Trump’s antics,” at least read (or, better yet listen to) the Epilogue of “Oath and Honor.” That chapter, even if you saw the hearings, is well worth the few minutes it takes to read. Liz Cheney sacrificed her political career to do what she did on the Jan. 6 commission. History will be much kinder to her than it will be to Donald Trump. ( ) Today I watched the first day of former president Donald J. Trump’s criminal trial for election fraud surrounding his hush payments to a porn star. I have read several books about Trump, written mainly by journalists. I bought Oath and Honor to get perspective. I’m a Democrat, but I have voted for the other guys a few times and like to hear all sides of any issue. Liz is one of my favorite Republicans. Her book is a testament to her devotion to her oath of office and her determination to uphold the laws of this country. She meticulously documents the steps and hard work she and the other members of the January 6th committee took to bring the truth to the American people. Trump’s desire to end our republic is a story that is still playing out in real-time. I think many people in our country have been misled into believing lies through repeated propaganda spewed daily by certain news channels and social media. I’m not naïve enough to believe all politicians are truthful. Most measure what they tell the public against what they think they need to say to get re-elected. If you read a lot, you know this is nothing new. But, most members of the Republican party are perpetrating a massive lie to appease Trump. Their behavior is beyond anything we’ve seen in this country. I recommend that anyone concerned about this issue read this book and others and educate themselves so they can make an informed decision at the ballot box in November. Excellent audio book read by the author. I follow the political news pretty closely, but I still found this book insightful and informative. To hear the inside story of the last year of Trump's presidency from someone who lived through it as a member of the House of Representatives and then a member of the January 6 committee was very powerful. Highly recommend. The people who need to read this book will not. Excellent retelling of the DJT "stolen election" lies and his attempt to install himself as President in 2021. Ms. Cheney takes pains to remind us that we are not out of the woods yet and that we live in dangerous times. I had been unaware of her extensive background in government service. Although I totally disagree with her conservative politics, I am thankful that the US had such an experienced, intelligent, honest and brave person in Congress. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Read by Liz Cheney with 50+ audio source material clips included, Oath and Honor is a gripping first-hand account from inside the halls of Congress as Donald Trump and his enablers betrayed the American people and the Constitutionleading to the violent attack on our Capitol on January 6th, 2021by 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 Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our 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 our history, those who helped Trump spread the stolen election lie, those whose actions preserved our constitutional framework, and the risks we still face. .
