I was informed daily about the events of January 6!! All the news channels photographers captured the awesome attack on the Capital of the United States. It was both awesome and scary to think this event was actually happening. The Capital Police were noted both in their defense of the US Capital but also the awesome attacks against members of the Capital Police.
Harry Dunn, one of the police leaders and a victim of some of the attacks does justice to the experience and implications for our democracy. His writing is similar to a novel because it is so interesting, but so bewildering because it captured the reality of the events and the ramifications for his personal life for time beyond.
To think that our nation is now up to considering the Trump, the person in charge of all the disaster because he could not accept defeat in the election, is now the leading candidate for the Office of the President of the United States in 2024.
I read the book feeling the anxiety and anguish of these distinguished Capital Police who were threatened and injured only because they were protecting our national capital. While I was always moved by the events as they occurred, his accurate reiteration revived those feelings and my appreciation for those who serve our nation.
