Summary
"From Bret Baier comes a riveting reassessment of Ulysses S. Grant, arguing that the great Civil War commander's battle to save the Union continued to the very end of his presidency when a crisis threatened to fracture the still fragile nation once again"--, Provided by publisher"An epic history spanning the battlegrounds of the Civil War and the violent turmoil of Reconstruction to the forgotten electoral crisis that nearly fractured a reunited nation, Bret Baier?s To Rescue the Republic dramatically reveals Ulysses S. Grant?s essential yet underappreciated role in preserving the United States during an unprecedented period of division."--, Provided by publisher
