Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning Hardcover – December 5, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2025Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseSome people will dismiss everything the author says as a lie. I can't imagine why she would do this; she sacrificed so much power, status, and even safety. For what, if not to tell the truth as she saw it? I'm willing to believe her testimony.
And if this book is truthful (as I think it is), then every US voter should read it. It's a horrifying account of the mess our political system is currently in and how it got there.
It's clearly written, easily read. I recommend it to anyone who is willing to give the author's viewpoint a serious look, even if they are skeptical.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseLiz 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 August 20, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI am so grateful for Liz Cheney’s courage and integrity - 2 character traits that are sadly missing in most Republican leaders today. This book lays out the truth of what happened on January 6th and the price so many people paid for Donald Trump’s lies and greed - the price for some, was their lives. Liz clearly makes the case that Trump lost the election and that his attempts to remain in power through deception and manipulation were premeditated. He knew his claims about a stolen election were false. This was about power for him and nothing else. In his eyes, he is what is most important and he does not care if he destroys the constitution and our country to serve his own desires. He is a dangerous man and those who are blindly devoted to him have sold their souls for a fleeting taste of power. Knowing that there is someone like Liz Cheney who is willing to stand up against Trump gives me hope that our country will survive. As long as there are people brave enough to put our country first, we will come out of this, stronger. This is a must read book for anyone who truly loves America.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2025Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseThis woman is powerful.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI 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.

Muy buen libro de esta mujer tan valiente,narra su lucha contra Trump y lo qué pasó el 6 de enero de 2021 en el Capitolio
Mrs A MorganReviewed in the Netherlands on March 15, 20254.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and shocking
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...

LauraReviewed in France on June 4, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Mes réflexions
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?
