The only audiobook of the live Jan. 6 Select Committee Hearings, illuminating one of the most shocking days in contemporary American history through the unforgettable testimony and a foreword by lawyer and legal analyst Preet Bharara.
The select committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol gripped the country in ways reminiscent of Watergate or the Clinton Impeachment. From the opening statements by Congressman Bennie Thompson and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, to Cassidy Hutchinson's riveting surprise testimony, to the vote to subpoena former President Donald J. Trump, the hearings were carefully crafted to tell the story of the day our democracy was put in peril.
The January 6th Tapes is the only audiobook where listeners can hear all 20 hours of unabridged audio recordings – each of the nine public hearings is full of stunning testimony from Trump allies, aides, and lawyers; legal experts; participants in the attacks; and members of the team tasked with protecting the Capitol building that day. It includes a foreword from Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, examining the historical impact of the committee and the hearings, as well as the effect they will have on American democracy.
Hearing the testimony helps all students of history understand the stakes in a way simply not possible from reading the report. As such, The January 6th Tapes is an easily accessible archive providing a lasting chronicle of one of the darkest days in U.S. history.
