INSTANT #1 BESTSELLER: A gripping first-hand account of the January 6th, 2021, insurrection from inside the halls of Congress, from origins to aftermath, as Donald Trump and his enablers betrayed the American people and the Constitution—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 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.

About the Author

Liz Cheney served as a member of Congress from 2017 to 2023, rising to chair the House Republican Conference until her stand against the January 6th insurrection caused her party to strip away that role, and led to her defeat in the 2022 primary election. An attorney and national security specialist, Cheney previously worked in Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East while serving in the State Department during the George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush administrations.

From the mouth of a patriot...
I'm an independent and usually don't vote GOP because of the platform. However, regardless of your political persuasion, this book is a klaxon call. It's not about Red or Blue, its about whether we will have a Republic based on law and constitutional principles or one based on something else. Liz Cheney has impeccable conservative credentials and I highly recommend you listen to what she articulates in this book. She was there on January 6, she was in the mix, and we hope her voice is not drowned out in the noise... IMHO, It is ALL about oaths and honor.

    Very good book. The author has been very honest and straightforward in describing the hidden agenda of Trump policies. Has uncovered the diplomatic, antique democratic policies of Donald J Trump. Very interesting book to see how the truth of fair election was denied overlooking the US constitution, overlooking the honest opinion of millions Americans who voted and just beating our own false drum of stolen election period. Undeniable facts written in this book with reading. I highly recommend those people who believe in democratic republic, who believe in people’s voice and government by the people of the people and for the people.

    Liz Cheney is a living national treasure. She is one of the few clear-headed and principled Republicans who have stood firm against Trump's clear violations of the US Constitution. He is the first President in US history to attempt to remain in office after clearly losing an election. This book has a lot of behind the scenes first-hand accounts of what was going on and being said among Republicans in the House of Representatives following the 2020 election, so it reveals a lot of information you cannot find anywhere else. Liz was the 3rd highest ranking member of the Republican House caucus, so she talked to a lot of people daily and reveals those conversations. The book takes her all the way through the experience of January 6th as felt by those such as her, working in the House and Senate to certify the electoral college votes, as the violent mob attacked the Capitol and the very doors of the House chamber, causing them to flee to a safe room. The book goes all the way through the process of the January 6th Committee Hearings revealing many details I had never seen elsewhere. It ends with a dire warning that Donald Trump can not be allowed to ever step foot in the Oval Office again. He violated his oath of office and tried to put himself above the Constitutional process. He clearly knew that he had lost, but continued his lies about fraud regardless. Liz is one of only a handful of courageous Republicans who ultimately voted to impeach Donald Trump in the House for planning and inciting the Jan. 6 riot. She reveals that a majority of Republican House members were enraged with Donald Trump after Jan. 6. Kevin McCarthy and a majority of Republicans wanted to impeach him or severely censure him. She recalls and shares the exact conversations they all had about that. Top House Republicans condemned Trump following Jan. 6 and said so forcefully and publicly, yet she shows how they soon later became inexplicably spineless and submissive to Trump once again, which she could never do. What Trump did in his attempts to stay in office despite his clear election loss is explained in precise detail. The fact that he was clearly told by several of his own loyal Republican experts that there was no credible indication of significant fraud in the 2020 election and that he had indeed lost the election is described. Despite that, Trump continued to tell the same fraud lies , even after they had been debunked by 60 court cases where the evidence provided to the court was unconvincing at best. This is an important and well written book. I wish Liz would run for President herself!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I am through the first third of “Oath and Honor” by Liz Cheney. I’m learning a great deal—about the events arising from Election 2020 and former President Trump’s claims that it was “stolen”—about our Constitution and system of government—and about various members of Congress, some of whom currently hold leadership positions.

    A lawyer and a former government official and Member of Congress, Ms. Cheney was an eye witness to and participant in many of the events she writes about, including most notably the counting of electoral votes and the ensuing riot at the capital. She tells her story succinctly with plain and clear prose that’s easy to read. Although the events she describes are highly dramatic, she does not over-dramatize them or engage in lurid descriptions. While she does not hesitate to tell us what she thinks and feels about those events and other participants, she does not engage in character assassination or self-aggrandizement. While she’s a conservative, she doesn’t get on a “hobby horse” about conservative issues. Her only concern, so far, is telling readers what happened and why it was, and continues to be, a threat to our Constitution, democracy, and freedoms. She uses research and facts and figures to support her arguments and a cool logic to debunk many of the myths and meritless claims put forth by election deniers.

    Along the way, she discusses the Constitution, some of its provisions, and why the founders included them. One of the subtler points she makes is that the structure of government established by the constitution—the separation of powers amongst three branches of government each checking and balancing the others—affords us more protection, perhaps, than the Bill of Rights.

    So far, this is a very good book, a must-read for anyone from either side of the aisle, hoping to gain an understanding of what happened during the election of 2020 and how our Constitution and government are meant to function. I have a feeling "Oath and Honor" will keep me up until the early hours of tomorrow morning.

    More later.

    UPDATE-

    I’ve just finished “Oath and Honor.” I found the latter 2/3rds as compelling as the first. That 2/3rds covers the aftermath of the January 6th attack and includes, among other things: Congressional reactions to the riot, including those of various Republicans initially condemning Trump but later supporting him; Trump's second impeachment and Senate trial; Ms. Cheney’s loss of her leadership position, and ultimately her congressional seat, for opposing Trump; and the Congressional investigation and hearings concerning January 6th.

    Ms. Cheney makes many points we need to listen to and be very concerned about. She also paints some very unflattering pictures of various members of Congress—pictures that call their fidelity to the Constitution, and even their honesty and sense of honor, into question. She also makes a compelling case that former President Trump engaged in a systematic attempt to subvert the election and hold on to power (i.e., steal the election) using a variety of illegal means, including deceit, fraud, threats, extortion, and incitements to riot and to do physical harm to others. I wrote above that she does not engage in character assassination, and she doesn’t. What she writes she seeks to prove with evidence.

    Bottom line: “Oath and Honor” shows us the vast differences between what we want our politicians to be and what some have become. Most importantly, it demonstrates, time and time again, how crucial belief in and fealty to the Constitution is, not just for our elected officials (who swear a solemn oath to support and defend it), but for every citizen (and those hoping to become citizens). It is, after all, the instrument that protects our freedom.

    For all who believe 6 January 2021 was a non-event; have a read of this must read book (which could do with a bit less "acknowledging and thanking" of people involved with the committee and hearings).

    Reading this in Mar-2025, it's scary to compare the current situation with Ms Cheney's predictions made in the final chapter/epilogue...

    Je viens de terminer la lecture du livre Oath and Honor de Liz Cheney. Bien que je sois en désaccord avec la quasi-totalité de ses idées politiques, j'ai beaucoup de respect pour elle en tant qu'être humain. Voici ma critique de son livre :
    « Serment et honneur : A Memoir and a Warning » de Liz Cheney est une lecture passionnante qui plonge dans ses expériences, ses principes et ses réflexions, en se concentrant particulièrement sur les événements qui ont entouré le 6 janvier 2021.
    Le livre est structuré comme un mémoire entremêlé d'une analyse politique et d'un appel à l'action. Mme Cheney raconte son parcours personnel, sa carrière politique et les événements tumultueux qui ont précédé et suivi l'insurrection du 6 janvier. Le livre est à la fois un récit historique et un récit personnel, qui donne un aperçu de son processus de prise de décision et des conflits internes auxquels elle a été confrontée.
    Le thème du patriotisme est au cœur des mémoires de Mme Cheney. Elle évoque sa croyance profonde dans les principes inscrits dans la Constitution et son sens du devoir de les défendre, même si cela signifie aller à l'encontre de son propre parti à un coût personnel élevé. Elle souligne l'importance du courage et de l'intégrité dans la vie politique. Elle détaille ses luttes et les réactions négatives qu'elle a subies au sein du parti républicain pour sa position du 6 janvier, soulignant la nécessité pour les dirigeants de privilégier la vérité par rapport à l'opportunisme politique.
    Ce livre est une mise en garde contre les dangers de la désinformation et l'érosion des normes démocratiques. M. Cheney appelle à un réengagement en faveur des principes démocratiques et exhorte les hommes politiques et les citoyens à s'opposer aux menaces qui pèsent sur la démocratie.
    Bien que certains puissent trouver le récit de Mme Cheney partisan, compte tenu de sa position et de son expérience, ce parti pris est quelque peu inévitable : après tout, c'est une républicaine ! Elle a indiqué qu'elle ferait tout ce qu'il faut pour empêcher Trump de redevenir président. Elle a exprimé sa volonté d'appuyer et de soutenir les candidats qui partagent son engagement à défendre les principes démocratiques et à empêcher le retour de Trump au pouvoir. Je sais, en lisant ce livre, qu'elle a voté pour des démocrates dans le passé : le fera-t-elle à nouveau puisqu'elle ne votera pas pour Trump s'il est le candidat républicain ?

    I just finished reading Liz Cheney's book Oath and Honor. Although I disagree with just about all of her politics, I have great respect for her as a human being. What follows is my review of her book:
    "Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning" by Liz Cheney is a compelling read that delves into her experiences, principles, and reflections, particularly focusing on the events surrounding January 6th, 2021.
    The book is structured as a memoir interwoven with a political analysis and a call to action. Cheney recounts her personal journey, her political career, and the tumultuous events leading up to and following the January 6th insurrection. The book is both a historical account and a personal narrative, providing insights into her decision-making process and the internal conflicts she faced.
    Central to Cheney's memoir is the theme of patriotism. She discusses her deep-seated belief in the principles enshrined in the Constitution and her sense of duty to uphold them, even when it meant going against her own party at great personal costs. She highlights the importance of courage and integrity in political life. She details her struggles and the backlash she faced within the Republican Party for her stance on January 6th, emphasizing the need for leaders to prioritize truth over political expediency.
    The book serves as a warning about the dangers of misinformation and the erosion of democratic norms. Cheney calls for a recommitment to democratic principles and urges both politicians and citizens to stand up against threats to democracy.
    Although some may find Cheney's account to be partisan, given her position and experiences, this bias is somewhat inevitable, after all, she is a Republican! She has indicated that she would do whatever it takes to stop Trump from becoming president again. She has expressed willingness to endorse and support candidates who share her commitment to defending democratic principles and preventing Trump’s return to power. I know from reading this book, she has voted for Democrats in the past: will she do it again since she will not be voting for Trump if he is the Republican nominee?
