WIDE AWAKE: The Forgotten Force That Elected Lincoln and Spurred the Civil War
A propulsive account of our history's most surprising, most consequential political club: the Wide Awake anti-slavery youth movement that marched America from the 1860 election to civil war. At its core, this work illuminates a question American democracy keeps posing, about the precarious relationship between violent rhetoric and violent actions. 16 pages of photos.
