Owen Brown is the last surviving son of America's most famous
political terrorist, John Brown, who in 1859 raided the federal
arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, intending to galvanise the
Southern slaves into rebellion. Now Owen tells John's story.
This incredible novel recreates pre-Civil War America, when slavery
was tearing the country apart, and tells of one man's passage from
abolitionist to guerrilla fighter and, finally, martyr.
