About this event

October 15, 7:30-9:00 PM - Book Group. The Bradley Hills Book Group will meet on Wednesday, October 15 from 7:30-9:00 pm to discuss The Demon of Unrest: a saga of hubris, heartbreak, and heroism at the dawn of the Civil War by Erik Larson. Master storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln's election and the Confederacy's shelling of Sumter--a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Drawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink--a dark reminder that we often don't see a cataclysm coming until it is too late.
