El demonio de la inquietud : Una saga de orgullo, desamor y heroísmo en el estallido de la Guerra de Secesión

On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the unexpected winner of the presidential race, at a time when the United States was bitterly divided following several declarations of secession by Southern states that threatened to destroy the Union. Erik Larson offers a fascinating account of the chaotic months between Lincoln's election and Sumter's bombardment by the Confederacy, a period marked by tragic errors and misunderstandings, inflated egos and base ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. A tale of political horror that captures the forces that brought America to the brink of disaster.
