INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Adam Kinzinger captures one of the most transformative periods in recent political history in a riveting, personal account from inside Congress, including the January 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol and his vote to impeach Donald Trump.

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the US Capitol in attempts to overturn the presidential election. It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party.

In Renegade, Kinzinger tells his story of faith, service, and political duty in a democracy under siege. From the small Illinois county board where he got his start, to his years in the Air Force flying tanker missions over Iraq, to his final tumultuous term in Congress as one of the few Republican members to vote to impeach Trump and join the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, Kinzinger takes listeners inside the most critical moments and pivotal decisions of the last years. The result is both a searing examination of the rise of extremism and the GOP’s subsequent descent into a dysfunctional and destructive force, and a rousing call to return to unity.

Raw, provocative, and clear-eyed, Renegade captures one of the most transformative periods in recent American history.

thank you, Sir

I live in illinois east of Adam ls district but never knew of thus man until after Jan 6. I never was interested in politics until Jan 6th and saw the attempt to overthrow everything my family of veterans have fought and died for. I always have and still do consider myself an left leaning Independent. Adam is the epitomy of a true Republican. I may not agree with him on everything but I would most certainly vote for him or Liz Cheney any day of the week. They are the REAL REPUBLICAN PARTY. This book just reminds us of that. I am terrified, literally to the point of tears, at the thought of another Trump administration. I hope and pray the GOP recovers and removes the horrific hate mongers soon. I hope Mr. Kinzinger returns to politics. I thank you, Sir, for your many years of service.

Personalized view of a dynamic period in time from within.

Courage of conviction, human conscience, realistic analysis and reaction from a simple American patriot in service to our country.

Well Done

Honest, Personal and Timely
He did a nice job of telling the story. It was an easy read/listen

Respect for a Man.

I have so much respect for Mr. Kinzinger. Admire his courage. But still disagree with so much of his politics.

Outstanding leadership

High schools should require it in civics classes. Highly recommend it and appreciated his balanced approach.

Getting to know Adam

Adam’s a hero. He’s virtuous, strong and unyielding in the face of the turbulent tide led by Trump. We’re blessed to have him fighting for our democracy.

Please support Country First.

A True American Patriot

Adam Kinzinger is a true American Patriot who loves God, his Country and his Family. His firsthand account of his journey through life reaching the halls of the U.S. Capitol gives Faith to Americans who believe in and understand the importance of Democracy and how fragile it is, that we can keep it, especially when we know our History and don’t repeat the mistakes of the Past.

True Patriotism

Adam presents a clear and thorough account of what actually happened to our country as Trump orchestrated his coup to retain the presidency in spite of losing the election fair and square. Yet it is still not clear enough as to why the Big lie is still believed or at least not publicly rejected by so many Americans and their government representatives.

his professionalism

with our democracy at stake it's great to hear from someone rational and who comes from the depths of the Republican nightmare?

An American patriot speaks from the heart

I wasn't sure why it was do important to learn about his service to the country flying planes to protect us... until I knew enough to learn who he was. Adam is a man of principles, love of family and country, and someone who stands up for what's right even though it could cost him his seat in Congress. We are blessed to have him serve us in so many ways... and I highly recommend his book!
