What January 6 and Charlottesville Reveal About Rising Threats to American Democracy

By: Timothy J. Heaphy

Narrated by: Matt Godfrey

A crucial, clear-eyed assessment of what connects the two most influential moments of political violence in recent American history, and where we go from here

This dramatic, revealing book offers an insider account of the planning and aftermath of the racist riot in Charlottesville on August 12, 2017, and the insurrection at the US. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

As the lead investigator into both tragic days, Tim Heaphy has an absolutely unique perspective. Listeners will travel alongside Heaphy as he organized his team and structured the massive investigations they were about to take, as he interacts with politicians and members of law enforcement, interviews planners, perpetrators, and bystanders, gathers and sorts evidence, and compels and records testimony in order to create a record for today’s voters as well as future generations.

In his thrilling book, he shares what he saw and came to understand about what those events say about the state of American democracy. He examines how and why they took place with the hope that understanding the contexts of these events will be a crucial and helpful step toward avoiding similar episodes of political violence in the years ahead.

Topic

I thought that it was very well written on a topic so very important during the unfortunate reality that Trump was reelected

Great book!

I loved the common sense ideas and ways to work together to preserve our democracy — The importance of critical thinking, learning from each other and recognizing and obtaining truth.

Valuable information

Well reasoned and balanced opinion. Excellent work I recommend this book to all readers in search of valid perspectives

An entire book that says nothing

Looking for the inside details of how the investigation took shape, how it developed and was deployed and how it go to its conclusion, this book gave me no answers at all. With its incessant generalization and vagueness it’s like listening to someone tell you how they made a sandwich without telling you what kind a sandwich it is.
