To Rescue the Republic: Ulysses S. Grant, the Fragile Union, and the Crisis of 1876

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 under appreciated role in preserving the United States during an unprecedented period of division. Deeply resonant with contemporary events and brimming with fresh detail To Rescue the Republic reveals Grant, for all his complexity, to be among the first rank of American heroes.
