Cares about her country and its constitutionIn this era of constant partisanship it is inspiring to see someone who cares most about her country and not about reelection。 Her book carefully lays out her thoughts and path she took。

Thank you Thank you Liz Cheney for you honesty， something lacking in one side of the House of Representatives。 I can't express how grateful for your courage and dedication to right the wrongs and protect our Constitution even though you paid a high price for doing so。 Your courage gives me hope for the future， I pray we all make it through the next election with our country still intact。 Everyone needs to vote。 Thank you Thank you Liz Cheney for you honesty， something lacking in one side of the House of Representatives。 I can't express how grateful for your courage and dedication to right the wrongs and protect our Constitution even though you paid a high price for doing so。 Your courage gives me hope for the future， I pray we all make it through the next election with our country still intact。 Everyone needs to vote。 。。。more

A must read for everyone that truly loves America！The book provides a very detailed description of the evidence gathered in the Jan 6th committee investigation and why it is crucial to understand the facts of what has occurred to save our democracy！ Liz Cheney is obviously a person of great character and a true patriot and understands how important truth is and presents the truth in Oath and Honor！ Thanks Liz

Hands down one of the best books I’ve read this year。 Most definitely one of the most important ones for U。S。 citizens to read before casting their votes in the next presidential election。 Her writing is concise， brave， and a warning to all to vote to keep Trump from getting into office again。 She articulates well the extreme danger that our country faces if Trump were to regain power。

Truth Not LiesEvery American should read this book written by a great American patriot and leader。 One who supports the American dream and holds dear the Constitution and the peaceful transition of power。

I feel like this should be required reading for every US civics and history student。 Apolitical， well reasoned， and based in fact， Former Rep。 Cheney lays out the history and future perils of fidelity to one man and not to the country。 I found even more powerful listening to the audiobook - hearing the words directly from Rep。 Cheney really brings to like the importance of this time in our country’s history。

Fact after fact from a woman of principle， that refuses to be part of what is now a cult。

powerful call to action！I could not wait to read this book。 I am no longer a Republican and Liz Cheney is far more conservative than I am， but I strongly supported her reelection to Congress as one of far too few sane GOP voices in the House of the People， the US Congress。 Too many of the rest of the GOP are unserious， self-centered people who would do well to find their spine and put the country before their party and themselves。 This is what Liz Cheney has done with full knowledge that it woul powerful call to action！I could not wait to read this book。 I am no longer a Republican and Liz Cheney is far more conservative than I am， but I strongly supported her reelection to Congress as one of far too few sane GOP voices in the House of the People， the US Congress。 Too many of the rest of the GOP are unserious， self-centered people who would do well to find their spine and put the country before their party and themselves。 This is what Liz Cheney has done with full knowledge that it would likely cost her her political career – and it did。For people who care about the country， and the processes that underpin the freedoms we all treasure， this is an engrossing but sobering read。 Every American should be profoundly indebted to the January 6 committee， and all who supported it， for the amazing work they did that in many ways underpins the legal cases now being brought against Trump and his enablers。This may be the most important book of the 2024 race， indeed， the most important book。 We will read at this fragile time in our system of government。 No one should take our constitutional republic for granted because it depends on all of us putting partisanship aside， getting involved in the 2024 elections and ensuring we elect people only of character， integrity， and experience， not just for the presidency， but for all elected offices。 。。。more

A well-written a frightening account of the GOP in general and Trump in particular in the context of the attempted January 6 insurrection。 A Republican-led US will indeed be chaotic and evil。

Liz Cheney and I will never agree about anything， except that if we are to be a democracy， we have to actively participate in keeping it。 I found this book to be both disturbing and inspiring。

Regardless of what political party you support - this is a must read book。

The beginning is a bit choppy。 It just kind of starts and is very just-the-facts。 Also， throughout the book， I feel like she doesn’t always give enough background or context to who’s who in Washington。 Sort of a la “Jim Jordan is easy to pick out on the floor of Congress—he’s the one never wearing his suit jacket” and then the reader can say， “oh， right， I know who she means。”The recounting of January 6th itself is edge-of-your-seat and full of emotion。 The information on the process of creating The beginning is a bit choppy。 It just kind of starts and is very just-the-facts。 Also， throughout the book， I feel like she doesn’t always give enough background or context to who’s who in Washington。 Sort of a la “Jim Jordan is easy to pick out on the floor of Congress—he’s the one never wearing his suit jacket” and then the reader can say， “oh， right， I know who she means。”The recounting of January 6th itself is edge-of-your-seat and full of emotion。 The information on the process of creating the commission and how it was run is incredibly important， but again it just needs a little more narrative。 I expect Liz Cheney to be no nonsense， but that doesn’t always work when telling a story。This will be a vital resource for historians， but I do wish it was a little more approachable to people who don’t watch C-Span for hours （like me。） 。。。more

This book is a minute-by-minute， day-by-day， month-by-month account of the events surrounding the 2020 Presidential election and the aftermath circling the date of January 6， 2021。 When Liz Cheney announced that she would support the impeachment of Donald Trump after these events she might as well have announced the end of her political career。 I don't support any of Cheney's policies or governing philosophy， but I totally endorse her Profiles in Courage Award。 Constitution over party is her mot This book is a minute-by-minute， day-by-day， month-by-month account of the events surrounding the 2020 Presidential election and the aftermath circling the date of January 6， 2021。 When Liz Cheney announced that she would support the impeachment of Donald Trump after these events she might as well have announced the end of her political career。 I don't support any of Cheney's policies or governing philosophy， but I totally endorse her Profiles in Courage Award。 Constitution over party is her motto。This is a must read before the trial starts on or after March 5。 You need a refresher on all of the details around the last election。 I'm sure Jack Smith is working from much of what the House Special Committee discovered。 。。。more

After seeing videos and the news with my own eyes what happened on January 6， I had followed all of the January 6 Select Committee's hearings and have read everything I could get my hands on about the violent attack against our Capital and republic， and Trump's corrupt attempt to hold on to power。 Therefore， there was little I didn't know from reading this powerful memoir by Liz Cheney。 I admire her leadership， efforts to prevent Trump from ever holding office again and her commitment to the Con After seeing videos and the news with my own eyes what happened on January 6， I had followed all of the January 6 Select Committee's hearings and have read everything I could get my hands on about the violent attack against our Capital and republic， and Trump's corrupt attempt to hold on to power。 Therefore， there was little I didn't know from reading this powerful memoir by Liz Cheney。 I admire her leadership， efforts to prevent Trump from ever holding office again and her commitment to the Constitution， rule of law， and truth。 。。。more

A remarkable insider’s view of the events of January 6 and The committee’s investigative work。 I listened to the audio version which is read by Cheney herself。 I found her first-hand description of what happened from inside the Capitol gripping and disturbing。 I think everyone should read/listen to it to truly understand the terror。 I did roll my eyes a few times at the excessive self-congratulations in the second half of the book。 To me it was very interesting to hear some of the behind the sce A remarkable insider’s view of the events of January 6 and The committee’s investigative work。 I listened to the audio version which is read by Cheney herself。 I found her first-hand description of what happened from inside the Capitol gripping and disturbing。 I think everyone should read/listen to it to truly understand the terror。 I did roll my eyes a few times at the excessive self-congratulations in the second half of the book。 To me it was very interesting to hear some of the behind the scenes details of how Congress works and the interactions among the representatives。 Liz Cheney and I are pretty much polar opposites politically but I respect her commitment and I’m glad I read her book。 It’s not quite as riveting as Cassidy Hutchinson’s book that I listened to earlier but I appreciate the different perspectives。 。。。more

Thorough and detailed but not wonky。 Liz Cheney is precise as she lays out the case she’s arguing in clear terms。 It’s somewhat repetitive but that’s partly the nature of the events。

I'm giving a conservative Republican former congresswoman FIVE STARS for her book because it's honest and revealing。 While I dislike her policy positions， I can't help but admire somebody who puts the sanctity of her country over the whims of a MFer like Donald Trump。 She did that， and it led to the end of her political career。 She should be lauded for all she did。 I'm giving a conservative Republican former congresswoman FIVE STARS for her book because it's honest and revealing。 While I dislike her policy positions， I can't help but admire somebody who puts the sanctity of her country over the whims of a MFer like Donald Trump。 She did that， and it led to the end of her political career。 She should be lauded for all she did。 。。。more

This book was definitely worth the time to read it。 I would recommend it to anyone who wants an insiders' view of the events of Jan 6 and the investigation that followed。 Liz Cheney's bravery and commitment to her duty are very admirable。 In a time when people are questioning who to trust to tell the truth， it is indeed comforting to know that there are still some politicians and people in power who take their oaths to the Constitution seriously。 This book was definitely worth the time to read it。 I would recommend it to anyone who wants an insiders' view of the events of Jan 6 and the investigation that followed。 Liz Cheney's bravery and commitment to her duty are very admirable。 In a time when people are questioning who to trust to tell the truth， it is indeed comforting to know that there are still some politicians and people in power who take their oaths to the Constitution seriously。 。。。more

Cheney makes her case against another Trump presidency with hard， cold facts。 I wish about 95% of voters would heed her warning and realize Trump is unfit to serve。 He tried to overturn a fair election， refused the peaceful transfer of power， and lead an insurrection。 If elected， he promises to do-away with democracy and rule as a dictator instead。 What American doesn't love freedom and democracy？ I guess， quite a few。 Cheney makes her case against another Trump presidency with hard， cold facts。 I wish about 95% of voters would heed her warning and realize Trump is unfit to serve。 He tried to overturn a fair election， refused the peaceful transfer of power， and lead an insurrection。 If elected， he promises to do-away with democracy and rule as a dictator instead。 What American doesn't love freedom and democracy？ I guess， quite a few。 。。。more

A thorough， well-written and insightful condemnation of Donald Trump’s involvement with the failed January 6， 2021， coup， this books also serves as a warning that the struggle to ensure our version of democracy is far from over。 Cheney’s many excerpts from her own speeches are somewhat self-serving， but she is a politician after all。 Given that the Democratic party insists on shoving joebiden down our throats as the only thing standing between Trump’s fascism and the Constitution， I sincerely wi A thorough， well-written and insightful condemnation of Donald Trump’s involvement with the failed January 6， 2021， coup， this books also serves as a warning that the struggle to ensure our version of democracy is far from over。 Cheney’s many excerpts from her own speeches are somewhat self-serving， but she is a politician after all。 Given that the Democratic party insists on shoving joebiden down our throats as the only thing standing between Trump’s fascism and the Constitution， I sincerely wish Cheney would enter the 2024 presidential race。 She would have my enthusiastic support。 。。。more

When somebody shows you what they are ， believe them 。 Donald trump has shown his gangster tendencies time after time 。 I totally agree with Liz Cheney that we do everything in our power to keep trump out of our government。 It will take a lot to set the country right after the reign of terror passes。

Highly recommend！ We all need to know the details of what happened January 6， who orchestrated what， the planning and the downward spiraling of the Republican Party。 What has happened to the Republican Party？ Actually， the Party of Trump！
