"At the Edge of the Precipice" is historian Robert V. Remini's fascinating recounting
of the Compromise of 1850, a titanic act of political will that only a skillful statesman
like Clay could broker. Although the Compromise would collapse ten years later, plunging
the nation into civil war, Clay's victory in 1850 ultimately saved the Union by giving
the North an extra decade to industrialize and prepare.
