Midnight in Washington by Adam Schiff

California Congressman Adam Schiff was one of the few voices (with a pulpit) whose outrage and emotion were on full display when our democracy was almost taken over by autocracy. His new book is both a personal account of the events surrounding the January 6th riot, as well as a huge warning that the threat to democracy is not over. “If there is still an American democracy fifty years from now, historians will be very grateful for this highly personal and deeply informed guide to one of its greatest crises. We should be grateful that we can read it now.” —Timothy Snyder, bestselling author of On Tyranny.—S.B.
