OATH AND HONOR A Memoir and a Warning

This memoir about the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol combines an able narration by author Liz Cheney with clips of quoted material from actual sources, such as news reports and recorded speeches. As a result, the work has a sense of immediacy that cannot be duplicated in print. Because she was a longtime U.S. representative, Cheney knows how to effectively utilize the spoken word. She varies her pacing and tone nicely to fit the subject matter. But there are times it feels like she has to restrain herself from shouting about the moral cowardice of several Republican leaders. All in all, this audiobook is enlightening even for well-informed listeners. R.C.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2024]
