The author (set out more fully) is the "House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol," of the United States House of Representatives. The Select Committee released this introductory report on December 19. It is entitled in the media (and by the committee itself in its URL of the released PDF) as an "Executive Summary" of the final report, though it is far more complete and supported in citations than are most such summaries (at 154 pages even with large pages). This report is presented here in book form, using a smaller but normal page-size, to ease its use in reading and shelving compared to the letter-paged original.

It reviewed over a million documents and interviewed over a thousand witnesses. Its multiple hearings produced witnesses and videos revealing behind-the-scenes evidence not publicly known as the world watched in horror the day of the attack. The Quid Pro edition adds a contemporaneous Foreword by Steven Alan Childress, a senior law professor at Tulane University Law School and coauthor of the three-volume legal treatise Federal Standards of Review. In it, he analyzes the historic import of the report and its criminal referrals, the issue of "bipartisanship," and the evidence-law concept of "hearsay" used incorrectly by many previous critics of the committee's work. Quid Pro Books is an independent academic publisher of classic and contemporary nonfiction books on law, history, political science, and the social sciences.

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller The official report and findings of the bipartisan Congressional investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and Donald Trump’s related coup conspiracies to overthrow the election, with an original foreword by attorney and Emmy-winning MSNBC anchor Ari Melber. This edition includes an exclusive breakdown of the coup conspiracy, based on Melber’s reporting and real-time coverage, highlighting the multi-pronged plot against democracy. Only the authoritative House committee report can capture the full range of plots that have been exposed over time, from the violent attack on January 6 to related efforts revealed months after the insurrection. This definitive edition features: • New independent analysis of the coup conspiracy by MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber • The historic, official text of the House Committee report on the insurrection, including the full Executive Summary with endnotes and all chapter endnotes. • The definitive accounting of Donald Trump’s efforts to end American democracy This is the only edition of the report featuring an additional, original analysis of the coup by a journalist and lawyer at the center of the action -- Melber has interviewed top members of this Committee, Jan. 6 rally planners and other cooperating witnesses, and Trump White House veterans ranging from Steve Bannon to Peter Navarro (now indicted for defying this probe). His report documents how Trump’s plots comprise a continuous coup conspiracy -- not a “riot” that exploded in a “single day” -- and why that factual prism is vital for accountability, justice, and preventing the next coup attempt. In chilling detail, he shows how that process might have engineered a technical effort to “override” the election on the floor of Congress—an essential map, and warning, for those who wish to protect democracy. If warnings are ignored and there is no accountability for the plotters at the top, a failed coup may become a training exercise. This report is not only a vital document in modern American history, it can also inform efforts to protect the future of American democracy. As a matter of justice, bipartisanship, and even patriotism, this report will become essential reading for any American determined to defend our democracy.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The official report by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, featuring an exclusive foreword on the state of American democracy by Congressman Adam Schiff On January 6, 2021, the United States came perilously close to losing its democracy. A mob instigated by the president of the United States violently attacked the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., seeking to disrupt the certification of the electors in the presidential election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history. The attack was the culmination of a plot organized and driven by a defeated president, attempting to remain in power through a complex web of deceit, intimidation, and violence. This is the official report of the investigation into the attack—perhaps the most vital congressional investigation in American history—with exhibits, witness testimony, and an exclusive foreword by Congressman Adam Schiff, who offers critical insights into this harrowing chapter in American history.
