The House select committee hearings on the Jan. 6 insurrection began earlier this month and have already revealed new facts and information about the assault on the U.S. Capitol and the people involved.
The committee is presenting the findings of its investigation into President Donald Trump's responsibility in the attempted coup, the fake electors scheme, financial support of the insurrection, right-wing groups that breached the Capitol, and which witnesses failed to cooperate with the select committee.
To help you better understand these findings as they're presented over the next few weeks, we've compiled a list of books on the events of Jan. 6 and its aftermath.
