Additional information
by Select Committee January 6th Attack (Author), Steven Alan Childress (Foreword by)
Warning: Other publishers' versions purport to be the full report but omit the footnotes or appendix, or use poor print to squeeze into one volume; if theirs is less than 845 pages, it's not complete. We solve that by breaking it into two volumes. Properly sized in manageable book form, but retaining the pagination of the original -- its readability as a true book (and not just a governmental memo) is enhanced by breaking the total report into two parts. This edition is for those taking the report seriously as current events and as history . . . as an accumulation of evidence and conclusions worth reading in its own right. Yet the Quid Pro edition's accurate pagination, rather than reformatting into a smaller footprint or illegible print, retains its ability to be cited and referenced, and no razor-thin pages.
The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was formed July 1, 2021. It reviewed over a million documents and interviewed over a thousand witnesses. Its composition was bipartisan, albeit not in the way GOP leadership had proposed (as discussed in Prof. Childress's Foreword), and many of its hearings were public. The product of its investigation is this historic and detailed report.
This edition by Quid Pro Books divides the report roughly in half, for ease of presentation. This Part 1 includes the new Foreword, detailed introductory material by the Select Committee including its "executive summary," and pages 1-372 (including chapters 1-3) of the committee's final report. Part 2 excerpts pages 373-815, beginning with chapter 4, ending with recommendations and four appendices. The reader is advised to obtain both volumes.

He earned a PhD in Jurisprudence & Social Policy from Berkeley and his JD from Harvard Law School; he is the coauthor of the three-volume treatise Federal Standards of Review (Lexis-Nexis, 4th ed. 2010), and the editor of an annotated edition of Holmes's The Common Law (Quid Pro, 2010).
