Synopsis

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.

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.

I have respected Kinzinger for being willing to sacrifice his political career in order to do what is right in speaking out and also joining the Jan 6 commission. It was interesting to read his story about how he got there.......more

Goodreads review by Allen on January 28, 2024

This was ok. I always liked Kinzinger, even when we didn't agree so I picked this up for some insight into the chaos that is Congress atm. The latter half is good and provides some of the windows into the legislative process in.such a divisive time but the first half is just Kinzinger's bio which I......more

Goodreads review by Katrisa on January 04, 2024

I am a life-long bleeding heart liberal but I am so tired of the political division in my country. I am looking for political voices that aren't just party, party, party. Adam Kinzinger fits that bill. This book let me know about the organization Kinzinger started called Country First that is dedica......more

The one and only true Republican I just bought this book 5mins ago. Normally I would download a sample and read the book before I decide if I like to buy it. This book is an exception for me. Why would I buy this without even sampling it and more importantly why would I give a 5 star review even befor......more
