 In To Rescue the Constitution, Baier, the chief political anchor for Fox News, charts George Washington’s return from retirement post–Revolutionary War to lead the Constitutional Convention that bound together the United States (200,000-copy first printing). New York Times best-selling author Conant investigates the life and Fierce Ambition of journalist Marguerite (Maggie) Higgins, who reported on the liberation of Dachau and, following her dispatches from Korea, became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. From Atlantic staff writer Coppins, Romney draws on exclusive interviews from Sen. Mitt Romney and his family and friends. Ford’s Our Secret Society tells the story of Mollie Moon, whose fundraising efforts as founder of the National Urban League Guild helped support the Civil Rights Movement. MSNBC political analyst Reid (The Man Who Sold America) offers the dual biography Medgar and Myrlie, about assassinated civil rights leader Medgar Evers and his activist wife, Myrlie. White, the New York Times best-selling biographer of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, here chronicles gentle-souled Bowdoin professor Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, who became a Civil War general and hero, then four-time governor of Maine in On Great Fields.
