Grant Comes East (Standard format, CD)

Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and a student of Civil War history, has written an astounding book giving us an alternate history of the Civil War. On July 10th, 1863, Baltimore is in the hands of the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Robert E. Lee. Shattered remnants of the defeated Army of the Potomac have fallen back into Washington. Six days earlier, General Ulysses S. Grant and his army of 60,000 had taken Vicksburg. The last telegram out of Washington before the rebels cut the lines changed all that. Grant and his men were to come East and save the Union. Now two of America's greatest generals will face off in a battle that could decide the fate of a nation.
