Author: Epstein, Daniel Mark

Condition: New

An intimate portrait of Lincoln, so well-drawn that he seems to come alive on the page.-Charleston Post & CourierLincolns Men by Daniel Mark Epstein offers a fascinating close-up view of the Abraham Lincoln White House through the eyes of Lincolns three personal secretaries: John Nicolay, William Stoddard, and John Hay. Like Doris Kearns Goodwins monumental New York Times bestseller, Team of Rivals, Epsteins Lincolns Men sheds a new light on the 16th U.S. president-his brilliance and vision in a time of national turmoil and Civil War-by focusing on his relationships with the men who worked closely by his side. USA Today writes, This is not your typical work of history. Epstein, a poet, employs a dreamy, novelistic tone in describing these young men and their tormented boss.
