The January 6th Report
**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
Celadon Books and The New Yorker present the report by the Select Committee to Investigate the Jan 6 Attack on the United States Capitol.
On January 6, 2021, insurgents stormed the U.S. Capitol, an act of domestic terror without parallel in American history, designed to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. In a resolution six months later, the House of Representatives called it "one of the darkest days of our democracy," and established a special committee to investigate how and why the attack happened.
Celadon Books, in collaboration with The New Yorker, presents the committee's final report, the definitive account of January 6th and what led up to it, based on more than a year of investigation by nine members of Congress and committee staff, with a preface by David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and an epilogue by Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, a member of the committee.

Editorial Reviews
"A must read for politics watchers…Remnick provides useful context, while committee member Jamie Raskin adds recommendations to the report, including direct election of presidents and abolition of the Electoral College in order to 'break out of the GOP's matrix of democracy suppression.'"

I’m well into the Report which is more alarming about what happened on January 6th than I expected. It’s very well written, and due to the plain language that’s used the report is highly accessible. At this point my only other comment is disappointment that there’s no index.

I struggle with the stars as I did get a damaged cover. Though seeing some reviews I'm greatful that the pages seem to be correct. Now, that out the way: I kept it 5 stars because my complaint is cosmetic and not a reflection of the text itself. I feel like this is written in an accessible and approachable way. I'm not very far in considering the size but it is great so far. There seems to be a lot of perspective and I appreciate that. I like that it is written by multiple voices instead of a single voice. I sectioned out the endnotes to each chapter so I can reference them easier -so much appreciation for who ever made the choice to do them by chapter instead of at the end. I also appreciate that the executive summary is there with the full report. I will say, I think the photos would be more captive if they were in color. I feel like it takes away from the "current" feeling that is needed for a report of this magnitude. Especially on the topic and conclusion. Again, complaint is cosmetic, boarder line detracting from the power of the writing itself. I hope that is changed in future editions. I feel there is much more to come but that'll be up to the doj. I hope jack smith has a public report at the conclusion of his investigation, and that includes the erasure of government data that should have been preserved.

This book is fine, but it is missing the 4 Appendices, which means it is 153 pages short of the full report.
