Despite criticism from media, colleagues, and even his own family, Republican Adam Kinzinger bravely joined the House Select Committee to investigate the January 6th insurrection. In his new book, Renegade: What Defending Democracy Taught Me about Life, Liberty, and My Country, Kinzinger uses personal anecdotes to take readers on a journey through the details of that harrowing day, how the attack was indeed foreseeable and welcomed by President Trump, and shed light on the pivotal decisions that led Kinzinger to break from his own party. Join Kinzinger and veteran journalist Jonathan Alter for a searing account and the lessons that all Americans can learn from one of the most consequential days in the country’s history.
