Erik Larson
ABOUT THIS EVENT
On the occasion of the paperback release of The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War, Erik Larson—the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile as well as The Devil in the White City—speaks about his chronicle of the pivotal five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War. Larson offers a gripping account of the period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals—forces that led America to the brink and killed 750,000 Americans.
