520    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, including Louisiana
       Congressman Steve Scalise nearly fatally. In heart-
       pounding fashion, Scalise's minute-by-minute account tells
       not just his own harrowing story of barely surviving this 
       horrific attack, but the stories of heroes who emerged in 
       the seconds after the shooting began; in the minutes, 
       hours, and days after he suffered a devastating gunshot 
       wound, in order to save his life and the lives of his 
       friends. 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 experience serving in combat in 
       Iraq prepared him to save Scalise's life that day; 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.
       It tells, most importantly, of the citizens from all over 
       America, who came together in ways big and small to help 
       one grateful man, and whose prayers lifted Scalise up, 
       during the worst of his hospitalization. As we follow the 
       gripping, heart pounding, and ultimately inspiring story, 
       we begin to learn what Scalise was experiencing in real 
       time; That Americans look out for each other; that there 
       is far more uniting us than dividing us.
