The Demon of Unrest
Just saw where Erik Larson, author of such historical classics as Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts will be releasing a new book in April called The Demon of Unrest. It is a history of the five months between the election of Lincoln in 1860 and the Confederate firing on Fort Sumter. While there have obviously been numerous books on this topic before, Larson is one of the best historians in the business. Devil in the White City is one of the top five books I have ever read. Add to it forum member Joe Di Cola's picture book on the Chicago World's Fair (since Larson's publisher decided not to put pictures in the book), and you have a real winner. I am sure his new book will be just as good. Here is a link to more information.
