Books

 

A writer that I enjoy reading is Erik Larson because his books show all the warts and ugliness of a certain time period and explains the different pieces that were affected by a certain time of history. His latest book, The Demon of Unrest, explains the beginning of the Civil War and the attack on Fort Sumter by the Confederate Army and how that decision reverberated throughout the United States. I also enjoyed reading about how the leadership of the U.S. Presidency shifted so dramatically from James Buchanan to Abraham Lincoln.
