#1 New York Times bestselling author Bret Baier reveals how George Washington saved the Constitution-and the American experiment

"To Rescue The Constitution is a masterful exploration of the electrifying struggle to unite a young United States." --Jay Winik

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 illuminates the life of George Washington, the essential Founding Father 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. In this compelling work of American history, there is no doubt that the struggling new nation needed to be rescued--and that Washington was the only American who could bring them 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 of nation building that led to the calling of a Constitutional Convention to meet in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787.

Setting aside his plan to retire to Mount Vernon, Washington agreed to be a delegate at Philadelphia. There he was unanimously elected president of the convention. After successfully bringing the Constitution into being, Washington then sacrificed 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 early America's 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.

This gripping work of narrative nonfiction reveals:

  • A Leader Forged in War: Follow George Washington from the battlefields of the Revolution to the presidency, as he rescues the young nation not once, but three separate times.
  • The Fight for the Constitution: Go inside Philadelphia's Independence Hall for the history-making clashes and fractious debates that defined the Constitutional Convention and the future of the American experiment.
  • The First Presidency: Discover how Washington's quiet, steady leadership as the nation's first president gave life to the Constitution, showing a fledgling country how its new government should be enacted.
  • A Nation Divided: Uncover an early America that is grittier and far more divided than often portrayed--a searching look into our past that holds a mirror to the conflicts of today.

No More Sticking, Just Perfect Results
Size: 15-Piece Set, Non-Induction
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love this non-stick pot set! The quality is top-notch – everything cooks evenly without sticking, which makes both cooking and cleaning so easy. The pots are lightweight yet durable, and the handles stay cool while in use. I’ve tried everything from rice to sauces and nothing burns or clings to the surface. They also have a sleek design that looks great in my kitchen. Definitely worth every penny – I highly recommend this set to anyone who wants hassle-free cooking and long-lasting pots!

Color me surprised
Size: 15-Piece Set, Non-Induction
I was actually surprised by the quality of this based on how much it cost. It’s actually a really good set, it looks great, easy to clean, it’s actually nonstick, very versatile, overall a really good purchase. I’d suggest getting silicone utensils to use with it though.
