Storm at the Capitol

“Jalonick weaves together a riveting account of one of the most consequential days in modern American history, a day that will continue to reshape our country long after the statute of limitations expires. As some try to rewrite the history of the January 6th attack, Jalonick’s book is a critical read for understanding the siege on the Capitol straight from those who lived it: law enforcement officers, lawmakers, journalists, and even rioters themselves.” 

“Storm at the Capitol is a gripping account of the events of January 6. At a time when too many Americans are trying to erase that day from memory, Jalonick guarantees that it will not be forgotten. This is an important contribution not just for explaining our past but saving our democracy.” 

“Caught in the chaos of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, Jalonick began interviewing as she was running to safety. Her collected oral histories capture the sense of danger, fear, and fury of that unprecedented day, hour by frantic hour.”

“Here is one of the darkest days for American democracy captured in the words and emotions of those who lived through it, minute by minute, hour by hour, as it unfolded in real time. Jalonick has given us a powerful new way to experience this watershed moment in American history.”
