Thank you, Steerforth, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I just finished Harbingers: What January 6 and Charlottesville Reveal About Rising Threats to American Democracy, by Timothy J. Heaphy.

This book will be released on December 31, 2024.

The author was the chief investigative counsel for the January 6 Committee, as well as leading the investigation into Charlottesville. The book tries to tie the two events together and focuses on their similarities.

The strongest part of the book was the chapter on the failures of law enforcement. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything else in the book that really set it apart. So, while it wasn’t a bad book, the best that I can give it is a B.

Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, a B equates to 3 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
