<b>A <i>New York Times</i> Notable Book for 2011</b><b></b> <b>A <i>Library Journal </i>Top Ten Best Books of 2011</b> <b></b><b>A <i>Boston Globe</i> Best Nonfiction Book of 2011</b> Late on the night of October 16, 1859, John Brown launched a surprise raid on the slaveholding South. Leading a biracial band of militant idealists, he seized the massive armory at Harpers Ferry, freed and armed slaves, and vowed to liberate every bondsman in America. Brown's daring strike sparked a savage street fight and a counterattack by U.S. Marines under Robert E. Lee. The bloodshed and court drama that followed also shocked a divided nation and propelled it toward civil war. Tony Horwitz's <i>Midnight Rising</i> brings Brown and his uprising vividly to life and charts America's descent into explosive conflict. The result is a taut and indispensable history of a man and a time that still resonate in our own.
