To Purge This Land with Blood: A Biography of John Brown [Updated Edition]

The Definitive Biography of John Brown, Newly Updated 
"John Brown's life was filled with drama, and Oates tells his story in a manner so engrossing that the book reads like a novel, despite the fact that it is extensively documented and researched." 
-Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review 
Professor Oates "has given us the most objective and absorbing biography of John Brown ever written. The subtitle perfectly captures Brown's own conception of his role in the antislavery crusade. Oates describes with subtlety and detail John Brown's early career, his struggles with poverty, illness and death, the desperate straits the man was put to in support of his large family of twenty children. He tells us that Brown came to the armed phase of his abolitionist career at the end of many business ventures and as many failures, unsuccessful speculations, lawsuits, and bankruptcies, even misappropriation of funds." 
-Willie Lee Rose, New York Review of Books 
In October 1859, abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. His goal was to secure weapons and start a slave rebellion. The raid was a failure, but it galvanized the nation and sparked the Civil War. 
Still one of the most controversial figures in American history, John Brown's actions raise interesting questions about unsanctioned violence that can be justified for a greater good. 
For more than a hundred years after Brown's hanging, biographies of him tended to be highly politicized-then came historian Stephen B. Oates' biography of Brown. Since its publication, Professor Oates' work has come to be recognized as the definitive biography of Brown, a balanced assessment that captures the man in all his complexity. 
Also available in paperback (ISBN 978-1648371080).
