Review:

My wife and I followed Reilly's reporting on Twitter when we were both on that platform.  Reilly is a journalist, so there is a small amount of retelling.  Given the myriad stories, however, this is closer to being actually helpful than it is annoying.  Reilly has done a very good job of mixing together the stories of individuals (those who perpetrated the insurrection, those who defended, and those who covered) so that if feels like the huge tapestry of that day, its precursors and its postlude are well laid out without spending a huge amount of time on well-covered personalties.
