Description
Selected as a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, this landmark work gives us a definitive account of Lincolns lifelong engagement with the nations critical issue: American slavery. A master historian, Eric Foner draws Lincoln and the broader history of the period into perfect balance. We see Lincoln, a pragmatic politician grounded in principle, deftly navigating the dynamic politics of antislavery, secession, and civil war. Lincolns greatness emerges from his capacity for moral and political growth.
