#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 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 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 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 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.

Few books have so consistently kept my interest as Mr. Baier's offering of Saving The Constitution. I can tell it has been very well researched. Bret takes care not to indulge in hero worship but shows the true character heroism of our first president. He probably should have been a king, but thank God his own beliefs would not allow it. I openly laughed at times and scowled, and on a couple of occasions, Welled up with tears as I listened. Especially as Bret recounted Washington's death. Thank you, Mr. Baker for this great story of our greatest patriot! - Scott Pollard

Worth every minute. Civics is severely lacking in many of our schools. Upon listening to Washington’s fairwell speech you begin to understand the profound wisdom on the man. We were truly blessed to have Washington.

Excellent

Brett Bair commands his audience and pulls you into a different time in our Nation’s History. I was quite surprised and fascinated with the Founding Fathers struggle to ratify the Constitution. The book reenforced parts of history I already knew, but taught me a lot I didn’t. It’s a great read for all Americans.

THE founding father, his patriotism, and duty to his country and its constitution is revealed by insightful research and storytelling in this well written and passionately voiced audio book. Huzzah, I exclaim and VERY well done! I can easily conclude THIS endeavor was a labor of love with an equally intentional desire to educate. WOW. Addicted to self education, I read or listen to 3-5 books weekly, enjoying an interest in a variety of genres. I highly recommend!!!

Greatly enlightening of what the struggles, dedication, love of country, personal & states rights were plus long pursuit to write the constitution. Also shows how much effort, desire & care it took to keep untoward ambition from dismantling this balanced document through our history and into our present time

Amazing scholarship & fair presentation

Excellent overview of how our government was established and the kind of leadership that led our country during those times of uncertainty. The Appendix of George Washington ‘s prophetic farewell address has relevance today. That is worth listening to and applying to the times we face today as a nation.

The story of our country’s founding and who George Washington was as a leader.
