Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul by Micha

Description: Hold the Line by Michael Fanone, John Shiffman From a twenty-year police veteran and former Trump supporter who nearly lost his life during the insurrection of January 6th, this instant New York Times bestseller is also an urgent warning that "offers a stark message for this uncertain moment, making crystal clear the urgency and importance of defending our precious democracy" (Nancy Pelosi).When Michael Fanone self-deployed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, he had no idea his life was about to change. When he got to the front of the line, he urged his fellow officers to hold it against the growing crowd of insurrectionists--until he found himself pulled into the mob, tased until he had a heart attack, and viciously beaten with a Blue Lives Matter flag as shouts to kill him rang out. Now, Fanone is ready to tell the full story of that infamous day, along with exploring our countrys most critical issues as someone who has had firsthand experience with many of them. A self-described redneck who voted for Trump in 2016, Fanones closest friend was an informant--a Black, transgender, HIV-positive woman who has helped him mature and rethink his methods as a police officer. With his unique insight as an undercover detective and intense desire to do the right thing no matter the cost, Fanone provides a nuanced look into everything from policing to race to politics in a way that is accessible across all party lines. Determined to make sure no one forgets what happened at the Capitol on January 6th, Fanone has written a timely and "important" (Kirkus Reviews) call to action for anyone who wants to preserve our democracy for future generations.
