Oath and honor : a memoir and a warning / Liz Cheney.

Cheney, Liz, 1966- (author.).

Summary:

"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 our Capitol on January 6th, 2021--by the House Republican leader who dared to stand up to them. This is the story of the moment when American democracy began to unravel, when elected officials charged with defending our Constitution chose instead to embrace Donald Trump. It is the story of the men and women who fought to save our republic, and of the enablers and collaborators whose actions ensured the threat would grow and metastasize. It is the story of the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the Oval Office, and of the many steps he took to subvert our democracy."-- Goodreads.
