Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War by Tony Horwitz

informative inspiring tense fast-paced

4.5

Beautifully written and well detailed account of a deeply human American hero. Lays out the important role he played in the civil war and abolition of slavery. I love the way the author showed Browns resolve, high morals, and bravery while still conceding to his faults - reminding readers that flawed and imperfect people can still make a tremendous difference in the works and that you don’t need to be perfect to do good.
