The Steal: The Attempt to Overturn the 2020 Election and the People Who Stopped It

With a masterful hand, journalists Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague take us day by day, week by week, state by state through the stunningly dramatic unfolding of history that culminated in the riots at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.  Their research is deep and detailed and the read compulsive, but it is in the portraits of individual heroism, of those who stood besieged but steady, who took to heart their responsibilities to do what they could to protect the right to vote that distinguishes The Steal and that will linger long after you’ve finished reading.
