Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning by Liz Cheney
"Oath and Honor" offers a gripping and firsthand perspective on the events leading up to and following the January 6th, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Written by Liz Cheney, a Republican leader who dared to stand up against the betrayal of the American people and the Constitution, the book promises to provide an inside look at the origins, motivations, and aftermath of this historic attack.
Cheney's account delves into the deliberate efforts by Donald Trump and his enablers to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election, disregarding legal rulings and inciting violence in their quest to overturn the democratic process. As one of the few Republican officials to oppose these actions, Cheney witnessed the attack firsthand and played a pivotal role in the subsequent investigation as part of the Congressional Select Committee.
Through "Oath and Honor," Cheney aims to shed light on the individuals and forces behind the insurrection, as well as those who worked to uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution. By recounting this pivotal moment in American history, the book confronts the ongoing risks to democracy and the importance of preserving our constitutional framework in the face of unprecedented challenges.
