Please join us for a discussion of The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War by Erik Larson.
The Demon of Unrest is a gripping nonfiction account of the turbulent months leading up to the American Civil War. Focusing on the period between Abraham Lincoln’s election and the attack on Fort Sumter, Larson brings to life the political tension, personal rivalries, and rising fear that pushed a divided nation toward conflict. Through vivid storytelling and firsthand accounts, the book explores how uncertainty, extremism, and failed compromise changed the course of American history.
