Liz Chaney's appropriately titled book Oath and Honor is a detailed account of the actions of Donald Trump and his associates starting with the election of November 3, 2020. Liz, her staff, and the House Special Committee engage in an in-depth examination of the creation of the "Big Lie" and the January 6, 2021 insurrection. The book is well written, with short chapters explaining each of the unlawful actions by the Trump administration, including the 7 parts of Trump's plan. She gives special attention to the brave individuals that stepped forward to protect our democracy and national security. Like all politicians, she is overly self aggrandizing of both herself and her team. Nonetheless, she bravely stood up to her party to protect the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power. By doing so she paid the price of loosing her seat and her power.
