Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War

Plotted in secret, launched in the dark, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was a pivotal moment in US history. Brown, the descendant of New England Puritans, saw slavery as a sin against America's founding principles. This book portrays Brown's uprising in vivid colour, revealing a country on the brink of explosive conflict.
