Publisher Description

This program is read by the author, Denver Riggleman.

“Winners make history.” —Kevin McCarthy


Make no mistake: modern information warfare is here and January 6th was just the first battle. That day, an unhinged mindset led to an attack on the Capitol, the most serious assault on American democracy since the end of the Civil War. And that thinking portends even darker days ahead.

In The Breach, a former House Republican and the first member of Congress to sound the alarm about QAnon, Denver Riggleman, provides listeners with an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the January 6th select committee’s investigation. Riggleman, who joined the committee as senior technical advisor after he was asked to help, lays out the full intent and scope of the plot to overturn the election. The book includes previously unpublished texts from key political leaders. And it also contains shocking details about the Trump White House’s links to militant extremist groups—even during the almost-eight-hour period on January 6th when the White House supposedly had no phone calls. The man responsible for unearthing Mark Meadows’s infamous texts shows how data analysis shapes the contours of our new war, telling how the committee uncovered many of its explosive findings and sharing revealing stories from his time in the Trump-era GOP.

With unique insights from within the far-right movement and from the front lines of the courageous team investigating it, Riggleman shows how our democracy is balanced on a knife’s edge between disinformation and truth. Here is a revelatory peek at the inner workings of the January 6th committee and a clear-eyed look at the existential threats facing our republic—and a blueprint for how America can fight to survive the darkest night before the dawn.

A Battle of the Cold Civil War of Our Time

Honest, Duty-Bound, Vulnerable, And Patriotic… Denver Riggleman tells the story of our time in this, our current era, which echoes the similar challenges of the violence and national divisions of the Vietnam and Civil Rights Era in our Modern American Story. Now, in the Information Age, with an interconnected world, vulnerable to the nefarious strategies of bad actors, this begs us all to consider the concepts of truth and belief, the source of both, and the power that drives belief towards actions that either tear down or build up… We will soon find out what January 6th was a prelude towards as we write the rest of our American Story.
