Publisher's Summary
The stirring memoir of Harry Dunn, a Capitol Police Officer on duty January 6th, who has become one of the most prominent and essential voices regarding the truth of that day.
Walking the halls of democracy as a Capitol Police officer, Harry Dunn was a man slowly experiencing an awakening. It sparked after the election of our first Black president. It grew as his belief in the bravery and honor of law enforcement was shaken by Ferguson and countless other cases of police brutality towards the Black community. It continued to burn brighter as he watched members of Congress, many of whom he had befriended, lose their way to partisanship, as political extremism intensified. And it exploded into a blaze when he fought side by side with his fellow officers on January 6th, when democracy and their lives were threatened.
Standing My Ground provides a crucial, definitive firsthand account of what happened on that day our country was shocked to its core. But it will also share the story of a man who refused to stay quiet when he learned that some of the men and women he had risked his life protecting, who knew him by name, would deny the horrors they faced. That’s when he chose to speak up and to seek out what his hero John Lewis once termed “good trouble.” Dunn’s ongoing story as a witness willing to meaningfully engage with the media, lawmakers, and the public provides a backdrop for examining the political and racial divide in this country—one that we must overcome in order to demand accountability and preserve our precious democracy.

For as long as historical records have existed, authoritarian regimes have tried to rewrite history to suit their purposes, using their dictatorial powers to create myths, spread propaganda, justify decisions, erase opponents, and even dispose of crimes. Today, as America’s Republican Party becomes increasingly radicalized, it’s not surprising to see the GOP read from a similarly despotic script. Indeed, the party is taking dangerous, aggressive steps to rewrite history—and not just from generations past.

Disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others. The false claims that led to the breathtaking attack on our Capitol in 2020 may have been only a dress rehearsal. Attack from Within shows us how to prevent it from happening again, thus preserving our country's hard-won democracy.

Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party. From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects for third consecutive election in 2022. His legal troubles are mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Telling it straight
I like the honest reflections and his voice and phasing. It made me feel like I was sitting in a room with a beautiful caring courageous human whose story was unpretentious while sharing his deep disappointment and pain at the state of the US while imparting the fact that we have to find a way to hold onto democracy and not let lunatics steal it from us. I appreciated the role of service and the eyes that had seen so much over the years as a Capital officer but how different January 6 was.

Brutal Honesty.
Thank you for your fight to protect democracy.
If the US fail in this fight, God help us all in the rest of the world. Autocracy will slowly take hold over across the globe if DJT get back in the presidency. We watched it all go on Jan 6th in Canada. Appalling. I can't wait to wake up in a world where you are an elected official and DJT convicted for his many crimes. Your read was raw an unapologetic; loved it Mr. Dunn! I wish you a successful run young man. 🇨🇦

Incredible
I always respected Officer Dunn for his candour. He has talked straight about what happened to him. I thank and appreciate his service. As a Canadian J6 was very difficult to process and watch as well. We were is shock too.
