Renegade

Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country

Book • 2023

Author

Adam Kinzinger

Author

Michael D'Antonio

In 'Renegade,' Adam Kinzinger captures one of the most transformative periods in recent political history.

The book is a riveting, personal account from inside Congress, including the January 6 attacks on the U.S.

Capitol and his vote to impeach Donald Trump.

Kinzinger takes readers through his journey from the small Illinois county board where he started, to his years in the Air Force flying tanker missions over Iraq, to his final tumultuous term in Congress.

The book is both a searing examination of the rise of extremism and the GOP’s subsequent descent into a dysfunctional and destructive force, and a rousing call to return to unity.
