Oath and Honor

A Memoir and a Warning

By: Liz Cheney

Narrated by: Liz Cheney

Length: 12 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's summary

Read by Liz Cheney with 50+ audio source material clips included, Oath and Honor is 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 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Truth

Very In depth. Ms. Chaney does an excellent job walking us through the events leading up to and through the January 6th insurrection.

A book the whole state of Wyoming should read

but sadly won't because cults ignore evidence in favor of their own reality. strange world

Bravo Liz

Nothing but the truth spoken by a true patriot and stateswoman. Not my politics but she gets my heartfelt thanks for her courage and sacrifice to protect our democracy.

The danger is real

I rarely take the time to offer reviews of books, but today I recognize the importance of voicing my opinion on a subject this important to everyone . Thank you, Liz Cheney, for your integrity and your leadership. It doesn’t surprise me that it took a strong woman like you to stand up for our democracy. I so appreciate your care for truth, research, and justice. I’m convinced that we must all do our best to ensure that Donald Trump never holds any public office ever again. Your book tells a clear and concise story for why this is so. We need more citizens like you in government positions.

How much planning went into January 6. It did not just happen.

Donald Trump’s first election, his first elected office and his first job where his father could see not bail him out of the messes he had made. !
We show contempt for experience and knowledge in the U.S.
“Drain the swamp “ It sounds like a developer un aware that wetlands are the lungs of the planet. Those who have experience and long service in government should be honored.

Liz Chaney’s long experience and history working within our government are evident and so needed in this strange cult of resentment of Donald Trump. I am grateful for the careful work she has done. Donald Trump started his first job outside his family’s protective bubble with help from the Russians and had no where to go from there. There is nothing for him past the presidency and with cunning he will keep it by any means he can spin.
Liz Chaney is saying “No”. It is not an easy fight. This is an important book which should be read by all Americans. Our country’s future depends on it.

Liz could have titled this: “No job is worth sacrificing your honor for”

Riveting from the very beginning. Even though I knew much of what was in the book, having watched all the hearings, I still learned much. The audio clips are something you won’t get in the print version, and she used those effectively. Seeing the cowardice of so many Republicans who tell others privately what they won’t say aloud because they are fearful of retaliation from Trump or his misguided supporters reminds me of Benjamin Franklin’s words “We must all hang together or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” That’s the problem with the Republicans. They aren’t banding together. Liz is no doubt anti-union, but it’s unions who’ve given workers the strength to succeed against powerful employers, Republicans who know in their hearts that Liz is right must band together and follow her courageous example and speak out before it’s too late. Thank you, Liz.

Straightforward, compelling, essential

I’m on opposite end of political spectrum from Liz Cheney but found this impossible to stop listening until the end. There’s no fluff or digression. She’s telling exactly what happened on 1/7 in a direct no- nonsense way that is full of clips from subpoenaed interviews, plus back room machinations that we’d never know otherwise. Compelling & essential read for our country at this moment of fake news and organized media trumpeting theories as facts. Here we find facts. I applaud her courage as a Republican in writing this in today’s GOP. She’s not caving in, oh for more Liz Cheneys — she’s got a spine. I’m amazed I’m writing a rave review of a Cheney but this book is not just well written & read but fundamental to our situation today.

Stunning!

Clear and concise account of the events of January 6, 2021 and the investigation by the January 6 committee. This is a gripping chronological account which includes behind the scenes details. Fantastic narration and inclusion of appropriate audio clips. It is a clear warning for the future.

What an excellent book.

I watched every hearing of the January 6 committee, so this book was easy for me to follow. What was surprising was to read about the lies and the support given to DJT even following all of his machinations. Thank God for the people who helped us hang on to our constitution, who made decisions to support our country and the rule of law, rather than to support one crazy man. This book is an excellent record and recounting of what occurred during and after the 2020 presidential election. History will refer to this record to study and make sure there are no repeats. The fact that people still believe the election lies, still support the ex-liar-in-chief, is mind boggling. I truly hope all of theblegal battles against DJT will be won further proving Trump is not fit to hold any political office - ever.

Thank you, Liz Cheney, for your work in honoring our county. I respect you and your efforts. When people ask who is the one person you would like to sit down and talk with in your lifetime, I believe I would choose you. We may be on opposite ends of the political spectrum, but still I would love to explore your thoughts on life, liberty, and country. I believe we'd walk away as good friends.

Bravery in the face of clear and present danger

I was a 40+ year Republican on 01/06/21. I was appalled & deeply disappointed to watch Mr. Trump invite and then incite thousands of people to do his bidding to overturn the 2020 election.

I applaud Ms. Cheney for her detailed account of that January day and her work to bring those who were involved to justice.
