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 guy opened fire over the Republican team, wounding five and nearly eliminating Louisiana congressman Steve Scalise.

In heart-pounding style, Scalise’s minute-by-minute accounts tells not only his own about Back in the overall game: One Gunman, Countless Heroes, as well as the Battle for MY ENTIRE LIFE harrowing story, but the stories of heroes who emerged in the seconds after the shooting began and worked well to save his life and the lives of his co-workers and teammates.

Scalise delves in to the backgrounds of each hero, seeking to know how everyone wound up right where they needed to be, correct when they would have to be there, and in possession of just the data and encounter they needed in order to save his lifestyle. Scalise requires us through each miracle, and each person who experienced it. He brings us the storyplot of Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Army Reserve officer and physician whose combat encounter in Iraq distinctively ready him for the strike that morning; from the associates of his security detail, who acted with nearly cinematic courage; of the police, paramedics, helicopter pilots, and trauma team who emerged together to save lots of his life.

Most important, it tells of the citizens from around America who emerged together with techniques big and little to help one pleased man, and whose prayers lifted up Scalise through the most severe times of his hospitalization. Even as we follow the gripping, poignant, and ultimately inspiring story, we begin to realize what Scalise learned firsthand instantly: that Americans look out for one another, and that there surely is far more uniting us than dividing us.
