I bought this book for several reasons. I wanted to support this author, Treniss Evans, and I wanted a first hand account from someone who actually went into the Capitol building that day.
He takes us from that day to May 2024 describing everything he and his family have experienced as a result of him walking into the Capitol building. His saga as well as thousands others is ongoing.
To be fair, I don’t know if I can honestly give a good review at this time. While reading this book, the author was referencing videos on line, and because I watched them, it interrupted the flow of the book, and I also was watching a Tucker Carlson interview with attorney Stefan Passantino representing clients who were subpoenaed by the J6 select committee while reading the book, how not only his clients were being unfairly treated but how he was targeted as a result of representing them. I plan to read this book again to better digest the information.
But to give a flavor of the author’s mindset, I offer his words towards the end of the book.
“January 6th was not just an event - it was a reckoning. It was the moment when the American people, long dormant, were shaken from their slumber. For too long, we believed that our government, flawed though it may still be, still operated with some semblance of justice. But that illusion was shattered as we watched the very system that was meant to protect our freedoms turn against us. Bureaucracies bloated with greed, driven by power, and fueled by the sinister ideologies of Marxism, communism and unchecked control sought to stifle our voices and rewrite the history of this country. Yet in their arrogance, they failed to see the one truth that has always guided this nation: you cannot cage the will of a free people.”
He further writes, “our mission is clear: rescue those who can be saved, awaken those who have been blinded by lies, and discard those who have willingly chosen to stand against liberty.”
