The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War (Signed Book)
Erik Larson is a superstar of blending historical narratives with thriller-esque propulsion and here he weaves a narrative around the Civil War, the central role of Fort Sumter and the eerie similarities between the political landscape then and now. Told in masterful prose that is as fascinating contextually as it is compulsively written, this is history for all readers.
