What the 'Dawn of the Civil War' can tell us about today's acrimonious politics

Author Erik Larson appeared on NPR’s program, “Fresh Air” with interviewer Dave Davies. The impression I got from the interview, which you can hear and view the transcript for here, is that Mr. Larson is unaware of many of the complexities and nuances of the period about which he’s writing. There are a few areas of the interview where it seems to me he has misread the facts. There are also a few…

In aiming the first gun fired against the rebellion I had no feeling of self-reproach, for I fully believed that the contest was inevitable, and was not of our seeking."

frank turning into a dragon in the mark of athena evacuation when it was the beginning of the book and when it wasn't even his pov, even though we as readers and camp jupiter as a collective had no clue he could DO that...you really had to be there. even annabeth was like HUH. later books have people fixating on his ability to be a swarm of bees but where has frank seen a dragon before that he could imitate? he'd never shapeshifted in his life until the day before and offpage decided to do a mythological creature as opposed to an animal. he just came up with that!

In truth it’s a little hard to stay mad about our critical mass of hitler particles because in truth it’s because we’re captured by foreign propaganda apparatus in Russia and China and until those go away nothing can really change
