"There's a brilliance to this book that put me in mind of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, only Horwitz's Midnight Rising is set deeper in America's dark past. With stunning, vivid detail, he has captured the sheer drama and tragedy of John Brown and that bloody raid at Harper's Ferry that helped propel America toward civil war."

-Erik Larson, author of The Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts
