Stellar. Larson vividly depicts Fort Sumter's increasingly untenable position, the chronic ineptitude of the Buchanan administration, and the impossibility of Abraham Lincoln to provide a remedy, while exposing the mock-heroic chivalric mindset of wealthy southern planters who blithely linked slavery, secession, and war as components of a corrupted Code of Honor.
