Brian Kilmeade tells the little-known story of how two American heroes moved from strong disagreement to friendship and changed the course of history. No one would have expected Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass to become friends - but they were determined to make the grand democratic experiment live up to its ideals. Over the course of the Civil War, they'd endure bloodthirsty mobs, devastating losses, and growing unrest that would culminate on the fields of Gettysburg. A New York Times bestseller.
