Episode Details

UNITING THE STATES: Six Crucial Moments That Forged the American Miracle is the new book by Brian Kilmeade-#1 New York Times bestselling author, co host of FOX & Friends, and host of the nationally syndicated Brian Kilmeade Show. With seven New York Times bestsellers and more than 1.6 million hardcover copies sold in the US alone, Kilmeade is one of America's most trusted and widely read popular historians, and UNITING THE STATES may be his most ambitious and timely book yet.As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2026, Kilmeade turns his signature page turning storytelling to the question at the heart of the American experiment: how did thirteen fractious, fiercely independent colonies become a unified nation? The answer, he argues, lies in six decisive moments-and the extraordinary individuals who rose to meet them. From John Adams risking his career and reputation to defend British soldiers at the Boston Massacre-establishing the demand for justice as an American cornerstone-to George Washington reinventing warfare against the world's most powerful military, to Thomas Jefferson doubling the size of the country with the Louisiana Purchase, to John Quincy Adams launching the nation's most wrenching moral reckoning-not as president but as a congressman-by fighting slavery, Kilmeade brings each pivotal episode to life with the narrative drive and historical rigor that has made his previous books perennial bestsellers.
