The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, & Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War is by Erik Larson. A new novel from the master of nonfiction writing. This book looks at the run up to the firing on Fort Sumter which began the Civil War. This is not my favorite Larson book, but it lives up to the expectations readers have formed from his earlier books. Well researched and well written. Larson fans will not be disappointed.
Ratings: 10th grade - 7 out of 10.
