Features & Highlights

  • The instant #1
  • New York Times
  • bestseller
  • The official report and findings of the bipartisan Congressional investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and Donald Trump’s related coup conspiracies to overthrow the election, with an original foreword by attorney and Emmy-winning MSNBC anchor Ari Melber.
  • This edition includes an exclusive breakdown of the coup conspiracy, based on Melber’s reporting and real-time coverage, highlighting the multi-pronged plot against democracy. Only the authoritative House committee report can capture the full range of plots that have been exposed over time, from the violent attack on January 6 to related efforts revealed months after the insurrection.
  • This definitive edition features:
  • • New independent analysis of the coup conspiracy by MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber
  • • The historic, official text of the House Committee report on the insurrection, including the full Executive Summary with endnotes and all chapter endnotes.
  • • The definitive accounting of Donald Trump’s efforts to end American democracy
  • This is the only edition of the report featuring an additional, original analysis of the coup by a journalist and lawyer at the center of the action -- Melber has interviewed top members of this Committee, Jan. 6 rally planners and other cooperating witnesses, and Trump White House veterans ranging from Steve Bannon to Peter Navarro (now indicted for defying this probe). His report documents how Trump’s plots comprise a continuous coup conspiracy -- not a “riot” that exploded in a “single day” -- and why that factual prism is vital for accountability, justice, and preventing the next coup attempt.
  • In chilling detail, he shows how that process might have engineered a technical effort to “override” the election on the floor of Congress—an essential map, and warning, for those who wish to protect democracy. If warnings are ignored and there is no accountability for the plotters at the top, a failed coup may become a training exercise.
  • This report is not only a vital document in modern American history, it can also inform efforts to protect the future of American democracy. As a matter of justice, bipartisanship, and even patriotism, this report will become essential reading for any American determined to defend our democracy.

No appendices

Harper publisher chose not to include the appendices! I thought I was purchasing the unedited January 6 report that also has the addition of a forward by Ari Melber. It has the forward. But it has been edited to exclude the appendices. It gives a website where you can find them. Disappointing. Unacceptable. Will find a print version by a publisher that does edit/exclude content.

Melber's forward says it all.

This book is worth the purchase price for Ari Melber's forward alone. As this American tragedy continues to unfold, this is the perfect reference book that everyone should have available in order to fact check the lies spewed out by the ultra right. BTW - I am 75 years old and did not find the print too small to read. More importantly, my book arrived in excellent condition with very dark printing and without any damaged or upside-down pages.

A bit disappointing

I agree with J Louis on printing. The paper quality is not much, all photos are b/w and faded, yet content impressive.

Appendices are not included.

A very important part of this Report are the four Appendixes (several hundred pages long), and were unfortunately not included in this version of the Report. A bad decision by the publisher.

Every voter should own this...

Received my copy and while it could be a better product, all the pages seem to be right. Yes, the ink is pretty light and the photos are terrible quality. But is is an almost 700 page book for a very reasonable cost. I can overlook the shortcomings. It is a solid record of a very sordid period in our history. Buy it and read it, so it NEVER happens again!
