He saved the Union with a sword. Now, he must save his family with a pen.
New York City, 1884. Ulysses S. Grant is the most revered man in America, but a Wall Street swindle has left him destitute. Facing a terminal diagnosis of aggressive throat cancer, the General confronts a humiliation worse than defeat: leaving his beloved wife, Julia, in absolute poverty.
Enter Mark Twain. The literary icon proposes a daring gamble to secure the Grant legacy. Fueled by cocaine to numb the agony and fighting through a fog of morphine, Grant races to finish his memoirs before the silence takes him.
Unconditional is the gripping story of the greatest literary comeback in history.
