Summary

"United States Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund shares his personal account of the events leading up to January 6, Three days before the attack he requested the assistance of the National Guard. This request was denied. Sund directed every available sworn officer to be on duty to protect the Capitol and all of its members and staff-- but it wasn't enough. Here Sund provides a detailed and harrowing minute-by-minute account of the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. He details the shocking failures in intelligence, the outright stonewalling, and the many questions that remain unanswered."--
