"Exhilarating . . . strikes a balance between the personal and the abstract."-Edward Rothstein, New York Times These eloquent, compelling essays show why Lincoln was a man of his time and a man for all time. There is no better introduction to the complexities of his life and to why he still holds a spell over America and the world.-Library JournalAmong these original essays by prize-winning historians, James M. McPherson examines Lincolns deft navigation of the crosscurrents of politics and wartime strategy. Sean Wilentz elegantly explores Lincolns debt to the democratic political tradition of Jefferson and Jackson. Eric Foner examines Lincolns controversial position on the movement to colonize emancipated slaves outside the United States. James Oakes explores Lincolns views on the rights of African Americans. There are also brilliant essays on Lincoln and civil liberties, and on his literary style, religious beliefs, and family life. 10 illustrations
