Tony Horwitz: Midnight rising (Hardcover, 2011, Henry Holt and Co.) 4 stars

Review of 'Midnight rising' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars



Fabulous book. I've always wondered about Brown, who seemed like a first class wing nut. And there's no doubt he wasn't entirely mentally stable. But if you want some idea of how he got to Harpers Ferry, this book will help. Horwitz also accurately places him in historical context. Wonderful book!
