Erik Larson is one of my all-time favorite authors of popular history. His grasp of details, his use of sources is masterful, and he's one of the best story-tellers in publishing. I've read all his books, like Dead Wake about the Lusitania, twice, and am eager to re-read this new one about the start of the Civil War.

Sumter day-by-day and also the slave-holding culture of South Carolina and especially Charleston. Every page is gripping and ebautifully written and will make you feel that you are there.
