The September book is
The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson. This book is about the five months
between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War, a period
marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, inflamed egos and craven ambitions,
personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of
these five months were “so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not
have believed it possible to survive them.” (blurb from Amazon)
