He compares January 6th to the Civil War about a minute in

Yeah, 2 deaths VS 750,000 + comparable.

My copy should be arriving today, but that's disappointing to hear. Don't remember him being especially woke in his past books. I'm still gonna read it, but I'll probably stop buying them and start getting them through Libby instead.

Big Erik Larson fan. The January 6 comparison is laughable and set a bad tone. I’m still optimistic on it though. The first few chapters have been good.

I like his books a lot, but he is a “popular” historian. He takes others’ writing and research, spins it with a nice turn of phrase, and makes the later narrative more interesting. Looks like he’s “spinning “ this one ab initio.

I either want to read history, fiction, or historical fiction.
Not history forced into the style of fiction.
