Stephen B. Oates
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's biography of Brown. Since its publication, Professor Oates's work has come to be recognized as the definitive biography of Brown, a balanced assessment that captures the man in all his complexity.

Succinctly, Oates is very even handed on the complex issues preceding the Civil War, giving the south a fair presentation of their position as they understood it, and not as a 21st-century civil rights activist might.
The narration by Stephen R. Thorne was excellent, and I would be happy to find his name as narrator on future books of my never-ending list.

I don't believe the second (or third) act of John Brown's life was driven by madness, but his "monomaniacal" focus on the abolition of slavery and the equality of all man would certainly seem that way in the days context.
Ultimately, John Brown is a tragic hero. He suffered greatly -- often by his own hand -- but ultimately wanted a brighter, better future. Ultimately, John Brown was right.
Great listen giving context to a complicated, flawed, and righteous man
