"The #1 New York Times bestselling author and Fox News channel's Chief Political anchor illuminates George Washington's indispensable contributions to America's founding. A sweeping narrative ranging from the unsettled early American frontier and the battlefields of the Revolution to the history-making clashes within Philadelphia's Independence Hall, Bret Baier's To Rescue the Constitution dramatically reveals the life of George Washington, the Founder who did more than perhaps any other individual to secure the future of the United States. George Washington rescued the nation three times: first by leading the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War, second by presiding over the Constitutional Convention that set the blueprint for the United States and ushering the Constitution through a fractious ratification process, and third by leading the nation as its first president. There is no doubt that the struggling new nation needed to be rescued - and that Washington was the only American who could bring the country together. After the victorious War of Independence, when a spirit of unity and patriotism might have been expected, instead the nation fractured. The states were no more than a loosely knit and contentious confederation, with no strong central union. It was an urgent matter that led to the calling of a Constitutional Convention to meet in Philadelphia during the sumer of 1787. Setting aside his plan to retire to Mount Vernon, Washington agreed to be a delagate at Philadelphia. There he was unanimously elected president of the convention. After successfully bringing the Constitution into being, Washington then sccrificed any hope of returning to private life by accepting the unanimous election to be the nation's first president. Washington was not known for brilliant oratory or prose, but his quiet, steady leadership gave life to the Constitution by showing how it should be enacted. In this vivid and moving portrait of America's early struggles, Baier captures the critical moments when Washington's leadership brought the nation from the brink of collapse. Baier exposes an early America that is grittier and far more divided than is often portrayed - one we can see reflected in today's conflicts." - from the inner front jacket flap. Aquan, Richard L.

As new condition black boards with gold spine lettering and gold spine decorations contained in an as new condition non pricce-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Bret Baier; Author Dedication; Introduction: Ulysses Grant in Living History; Prologue: A Dark Night in Philadelphia; Acknowledgments; Notes and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "An epic history spanning the battlefields of the Civil War, the violent turmoil of Reconstruction, and a 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. Born a tanner's son in rugged Ohio in 1822 and battletested by the Mexican-American War, Grant met his destiny on the bloody fields of the Civil War. Desperate for bold leadership, President Lincoln appointed Grant Lieutenant General of the Union Army in March 1864. Within a year, Grant had forced Robert E. Lee to surrender. Four years later, the reunified nation faced another leadership void after Lincoln's assassination. Again, Grant answered the call. At stake once more was the future of the Union, for though the Southern states had been defeated, it remained to be seen if the former Confederacy could be reintegrated into the country - and if the Union could ensure the rights and welfare of Blacks in the South. Grant met the challenge by boldly advancing an agenda of Reconstruction and aggressively countering the Ku Klux Klan. In his final weeks in the White House, however, Grant faced a crisis that threatened to undo his life's work. The presidential election of 1876 produced no clear victory for either Republican Rutherford B. Hayes or Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, who carried most of the former Confederacy. Southern states vowed to revolt if Tilden was not declared the victor. Grant was determjined to use his influence to preserve the Union - but at what price? Brimming with contemporary resonance and fresh detail, To Rescue the Republic reveals Ulysses S. Grant, for all his complexity, to be among the first rank of American heroes." - from the inner front jacket flap. "To Rescue the Republic is narrative history at its absolute finest. Bret Baier brilliantly recounts the heroic life of Ulysses S. Grant. His dramatic retelling of the election of 1876 is stupendous. A fast-paced, thrilling, and enormously important book." - Douglas Brinkley, author of American Moonshot. "A brilliant character study of a great American. Baier brings Grant to life in vivid, gripping style." - James L. Swanson, author. "Richly detailed and often suspenseful. The parallels with modern times are striking, and the lessons Bret raises are worth serious attention: the future of the Republic isn't a given. We must fight for it in every era." - Mark Levin, #1 New York Times bestselling author. Carlson-Stanisic, Leah (book design); Kollidas, Georgios (title page art); Aquan, Richard L.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Part memoir and part manifesto, To Fur, with Love introduces readers to the family behind America's oldest furrier and treats them to an expert's exploration of the real meaning, value, and means of acquiring true luxury goods. Beginning with a transatlantic journey and an unlikely friendship between a former Union solider and a young German boy on his way to the New World, this book not only chronicles the creation and growth of the legendary Mano Swartz Furs, it also documents issues of great social importance. As author Richard Swartz details with tremendous insight, wit, and intelligence how his great-grandfather built and ran his company over 125 years ago, he provides a valuable example of how it's possible to use position and power to create positive change-even in the face of discrimination and death. Swartz also engages readers in a critical examination of our culture's willingness to equate an expensive price tag with luxury-and makes a strong argument for the need to discern what luxury really means and how to identify it. Compounding this history, philosophy, and social commentary further, Swartz also shares practical advice for buying, updating, and maintaining furs. This item is printed on demand.
