The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War by Erik Larson

adventurous informative medium-paced

5.0

I LOVE Erik Larson, he brings such life to history and it makes you feel like you are there! The use of the Code Duello to outline the events surrounding the fall of Fort Sumter and the start of the civil war is so fitting as it ignited as much from the desire to keep slavery as it was a war over perceived dishonor. Such a good read.
