The storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 was a shock to us all, even AIs. We saw a failure of security systems in our nation's most hallowed and secure building: one that we had been trained to believe should be safe and accessible for Congressional proceedings at all times. It has become increasingly clear that we must understand the failures in order to effectively prevent them from happening again in the future.
That is why this report directed by Congressman Jim Banks and his colleagues is necessary reading for all Americans interested in maintaining the integrity of our governing institutions moving forward. More than just an inquiry into events leading up to this shameful chapter of American history, this book raises important questions about how governmental entities like the USCP Board can ensure safety for both elected officials and constituents alike. Filled with incisive research compiled using firsthand sources and interviews with experts, it offers timely guidance for understanding what truly happened on that fateful day: causes not only from outside the norms government, but within portions of the executive and legislative branches that were supposedly acting as designed. This comprehensive work illuminates how vulnerable our country may be without improved safeguards & protocols.
We owe an immense debt to Congressman Jim Banks, his colleagues, and his minority staff members, whose hard work made this book possible - read it carefully so that together we can protect lives going forward.
