INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Adam Kinzinger captures one of the most transformative periods in recent political history in a riveting, personal account from inside Congress, including the January 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol and his vote to impeach Donald Trump.
AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER
On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the US Capitol in attempts to overturn the presidential election. It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party.
In Renegade, Kinzinger tells his story of faith, service, and political duty in a democracy under siege. From the small Illinois county board where he got his start, to his years in the Air Force flying tanker missions over Iraq, to his final tumultuous term in Congress as one of the few Republican members to vote to impeach Trump and join the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, Kinzinger takes readers inside the most critical moments and pivotal decisions of the last years. The result is both a searing examination of the rise of extremism and the GOP’s subsequent descent into a dysfunctional and destructive force, and a rousing call to return to unity.
Raw, provocative, and clear-eyed, Renegade captures one of the most transformative periods in recent American history.

Title: Very insightful.
Review: I read this book because I wanted to find out why Representative Kinzinger wanted to be on the January 6th committee. I found the book to be very informative and well written. I would highly recommend this book if you want to learn more about what led up to January 6th and what happened behind the scenes that day by someone who witnessed the events.

Title: Great reading
Review: Awesome book highly recommended. If You are a trumper you will not like it for the truths it tells and lies it exposes. Adam himself has said he was not perfect but he wanted to do what was right for people. If you are not a Trumper (aka MAGA) it is a great tell tale from a brave miltary man who served his country in more ways than one against the odds and fought for truth, Not made up stories to cause divide to maje yourself look like you are supposedly a king.

Title: Just a little too shaded to the last good man standing is Adam KinsingerJ
Review: Having read Liz Cheney’s book and then Renegade back to back, one thing glaringly stood out — Adam is overly impressed with Adam and, try as he might, there are really no good Democrats. While Cheney takes pains to point out that Speaker Pelosi assigned the committee seats she stayed out of the day to day operation except for making certain the committee members got what they needed from personnel to supplies. Meanwhile Kinsinger goes out of his way to denigrate the speaker pointing out her interference in the commitee’s operations. He doesn’t spare fellow Republicans either, pointing out that Liz was abrasive and blunt, etc.All in all, it was an informative book casting an occasionally new viewpoint on the current state of the Republican party. While I admire Rep. Kissinger for standing up for his oath and the country, if I were to join one of the two honest Republicans on the January 6 committee in their current endeavor, it would be Liz.

Review: This book is a page turner, written by a wonderful military politician’s memoirs on how his republican political party’s fall since the appearance of trump. How trump destroyed this once A moral and highly respectful party. I wish more republicans would share his belief and stand up for democracy. Following this evil trump is truly sad for the United States.

Review: I can’t say enough positive things about this book as this man was brave enough to speak the truthof what concerns him about his own political party and had to give up his political career becauseof it. Politicians that do this are extremely rare and far too many do not speak up no matter howabusive a leader is threatening democracy and the constitution. If he were running for presidentI would vote for him without hesitation if I were an American but am a Canadian so that is not possible.I highly recommend this book and is well worth the money.
