To Purge This Land with Blood: A Biography of John Brown by Stephen B. Oates
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 452 MB
Overview: In October 1859, abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. His goal was to secure weapons and start a slave rebellion. The raid was a failure, but it galvanized the nation and sparked the Civil War. Still one of the most controversial figures in American history, John Brown’s actions raise interesting questions about unsanctioned violence that can be justified for a greater good. For more than a hundred years after Brown’s hanging, biographies of him tended to be highly politicized—then came historian Stephen B. Oates’s biography of Brown. Since its publication, Professor Oates’s work has come to be recognized as the definitive biography of Brown, a balanced assessment that captures the man in all his complexity.
