"The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson" Summary

Here is the summary of the "The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson":

The crucial five months between Abraham Lincoln's election and the outbreak of the Civil War—a smoldering crisis that ultimately split a sharply divided country in two—are vividly described by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile.

One of the Year's Most Awaited Books of All Time

  After a close contest for the presidency, Abraham Lincoln emerged as the unexpected winner on November 6, 1860. The nation was deeply divided; Southern radicals were getting closer to breaking up the Union state by state and Lincoln was helpless to stop them. Slavery drove the war, but for whatever reason, the North and South's animosities were directed toward Fort Sumter, a lone government fortification in Charleston Harbor.

  The tumultuous months between Lincoln's election and the Confederacy's bombardment of Sumter are vividly described by master storyteller Erik Larson. This was a time of terrible mishaps and miscommunications, inflated egos and lustful ambitions, betrayals, and personal tragedies. The five months of hardships were "so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them," as Lincoln himself put it in a letter.

  The main characters in this gripping story are Major Robert Anderson, the commander of Sumter and a former slave owner who is sympathetic to the South but devoted to the Union; Edmund Ruffin, a conceited and violent radical who incites secessionist fervor whenever he gets the chance; and Mary Boykin Chesnut, the wife of a well-known planter who struggles with marriage and sees similarities between it and slavery. Amidst it all, an overpowered Lincoln engages in combat with his deceitful secretary of state, William Seward, in a desperate attempt to prevent what he believes to be an impending war that will ultimately claim the lives of 750,000 Americans.

  A chilling warning that we frequently don't see a calamity coming until it's too late, Larson's political horror novel depicts the forces that brought America to the verge of collapse by drawing on diaries, secret communiqués, slave ledgers, and plantation records.
