The "gripping and inspiring" true story (Washington Examiner) of how
Congressman Steve Scalise survived a political mass shooting and returned to
Congress with the help of his friends, family, and faith.
On the morning of June 14, 2017, at a practice field for the annual Congressional
Baseball Game, a man opened fire on the Republican team, wounding five and nearly
killing Louisiana congressman Steve Scalise.
In heart-pounding fashion, Scalise's minute-by-minute account tells not just his own
harrowing story, but the stories of heroes who emerged in the seconds after the
shooting began and worked to save his life and the lives of his colleagues and
teammates.
Scalise delves into the backgrounds of each hero, seeking to understand how
everyone wound up right where they needed to be, right when they needed to be
there, and in possession of just the knowledge and experience they needed in order
to save his life. Scalise takes us through each miracle, and each person who
experienced it. He brings us the story of Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Army Reserve officer
and surgeon whose combat experience in Iraq uniquely prepared him for the attack
that morning; of the members of his security detail, who acted with nearly cinematic
courage; of the police, paramedics, helicopter pilots, and trauma team who came
together to save his life.
Most important, it tells of the citizens from all over America who came together in
ways big and small to help one grateful man, and whose prayers lifted up Scalise
during the worst days of his hospitalization. As we follow the gripping, poignant, and
ultimately inspiring story, we begin to realize what Scalise learned firsthand in real
time: that Americans look out for each other, and that there is far more uniting us
than dividing us.
