The intensity of the spoken word differs from the power of watching events unfold on television or other visual forms. This distinction is apparent in the audiobook version of THE JANUARY 6TH TAPES, which forces listeners to focus on every word, every nuance, and in many cases, the sounds of the events, which come through differently from the television experience. This presentation is powerful and as gripping as any novel. The tapes are not commentary. Instead, they are a verbatim compilation of all the television presentations by the Select Committee to Investigate the Attack on the United States Capitol. Rather than a narrator, former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is more of a moderator who introduces each segment without commentary. Regardless, the January 6th Tapes is a memorable presentation of a day Americans will never forget. D.J.S.
