Scott Ellsworth talks about Midnight on the Potomac

Prepare to be transported back to the Civil War in a program featuring historian Scott Ellsworth, author of the newly released Midnight on the Potomac: The Last Year of the Civil War, the Lincoln Assassination, and the Rebirth of America. Midnight on the Potomac is a page-turner which has won many fine reviews. Focusing on the last, desperate months of the war, when the outcome was far from certain, this is a story of titanic battles, political upheaval, and the long-forgotten Confederate terror war against the loyal citizens of the North. Dramatically paced and passionately told, the book has been called a new kind of history of the Civil War.
