The Demon of Unrest
The latest nonfiction novel to top the charts of the New York Times Best Sellers list is the perfect gift to history buffs this Father’s Day. The Demon of Unrest chronicles the tumultuous five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the beginning of the Civil War, a period riddled with chaos, tragedies and deception. The novel brings readers inside South Carolina’s Fort Sumter and uses archived records, diaries and more to show a new perspective of the antebellum era. Many have told the story of the Civil War, but this horror story gives a polarizing view of the build up to the war, providing stunning details into how a nation crumbles.
