there is one book that I would recommend. It is unequivocal it's called city of sedition. Okay. And it is a book by New York historian. And he's written a couple books before, but this one is fantastic.

Summary
Making a New Year's resolution to finish his stack of half-read books, Dave singled out one he unequivocally recommends. City of Sedition, by a New York historian, shows how the Civil War tore New York's fabric in half: the city's money men depended on shipping and slavery and didn't want it to end.
Not in the audio. Dave doesn't name the author on air; City of Sedition: The History of New York City during the Civil War is by John Strausbaugh.
