Kilmeade understands that if we don't acknowledge our complex past, we'll never be the country we dream to be."-Brad Meltzer, coauthor of The Lincoln Conspiracy "Nothing less than the fate of America is at stake in this riveting and utterly fascinating Civil War-era narrative. Highly recommended!"-Douglas Brinkley, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Professor in Humanities and professor of history at Rice University; author of American Moonshot "Accessible, accurate, inspiring, and timely."-Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution; author of The Dying Citizen "The President and the Freedom Fighter should be in every home, school, and library in our country."-John Cribb, author of Old Abe "At a time when our heroes are being abused and statues trashed, how refreshing it is to see two genuine giants of history being given the generous historical treatment they deserve in this well-researched, crisply written, and compelling account."-Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill"Brian Kilmeade is a master!"-Tim Green, author of Football Genius and Unstoppable "To the immense benefit of the nation, two giants of America's story are beautifully captured in this highly readable account of how their extraordinary lives intertwined.
