How is tonight different from all other nights? For Jacob Rappaport, a Jewish soldier in the Union army, it is a question his commanders have answered for him: on Passover in 1862 he is ordered to murder his own uncle, who is plotting to assassinate President Lincoln. After that night, will Jacob ever speak for himself? The answer comes when his commanders send him on another mission-this time not to murder a spy but to marry one. A page-turner rich with romance and the history of America (North and South), this is a book only Dara Horn could have written. Full of insight and surprise, layered with meaning, it is a brilliant parable of the moral divide that still haunts us: between those who value family first and those dedicated, at any cost, to social and racial justice for all.

'All Other Nights' more than fulfills the promise of Dara Horn's previous books. This is a picture of the Civil War I've never seen before--Jew divided from Jew, just like the rest of the country. Eccentric and highly memorable characters, tragedy, deep romance and historical research, and an intricate plot make this a thrilling read that I will be recommending to a broad swathe of customers.
