Short Description: 
Tony Horwitz, author of "Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid that Sparked the Civil War"

Tony Horwitz, author of "Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War," a New York Times Notable Book of 2011, discusses Brown and the raid on Harper's Ferry and what it meant then and means today. Richard Wolinsky of Bookwaves is the host.

Tony Horwitz worked for many years as a reporter, first in Indiana and then during a decade overseas in Australia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, mostly covering wars and conflicts as a foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. After returning to the U.S., he won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting and worked as a staff writer for The New Yorker before becoming a full-time author.

Four of his books have been national and New York Times bestsellers: A Voyage Long and Strange, Blue Latitudes, Confederates in the Attic, and Baghdad Without a Map. His other work includes “Mississippi Wood,” a documentary on PBS about Southern loggers; “The Devil May Care,” a collection of fifty tales about intrepid Americans; and contributions to State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America and The New Gilded Age: The New Yorker Looks at the Culture of Affluence.
