Welcome to Litsy!

I bailed on this one forty percent through. I knew it wasn't going to teach me anything that I didn't already know. The people that need to read this the most are those who think the election was stolen, which is ironic since they can't read. I only wanted to read this because Bowden is one of my favorite writers, but even he can't make interesting what is clearly a waste of time, which is trying to point out facts and reason to the unreasonable.

An account of the 9 weeks between the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, with portraits of many of the people who blocked the attempts of the former president and his administration to overturn the will of the voters. It‘s frightening to see how close we came to experiencing an actual coup in this country. God bless the brave folks who held firm.

Bowden and Teague‘s book is readable account of the attempts by Trump and his associates to claim victory in the 2020 presidential election by claiming a variety of conspiracy theories alleging the election was stolen. They follow these attempts in AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, and WI. Even while detailing events around a serious threat to democracy, Bowden and Teague leaven the narrative with occasional bits of humor. A good, yet easy read.
