Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul by Michael Fanone (Paperback)

A first-person account by former D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Michael Fanone of his career in narcotics work and his experience defending the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Hold the Line is a first-person memoir by Michael Fanone, a former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police officer, written with journalist John Shiffman. The book describes Fanone's years as an undercover narcotics detective, his political background, and his experience responding to the breach of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, where he was assaulted, suffered a heart attack, and sustained a traumatic brain injury.

Fanone also writes about the aftermath — his recovery, his decision to leave the police force, and his views on policing, partisanship, and political violence.
