Description

A. Lincoln: A Biography by Ronald C. White Jr. This comprehensive biography offers a fresh and compelling definition of Abraham Lincoln as a man of integrity and authenticity. Through meticulous research, including the newly completed Lincoln Legal Papers and recently discovered letters and photographs, White provides a nuanced portrait of Lincoln's personal, political, and moral evolution. Lincoln is revealed as a country lawyer who asked questions to figure out his own thinking on an issue, as much as to argue the case. He was also a hands-on commander in chief who took bold action, such as commandeering a boat to attack Confederate shore batteries. White explores Lincoln's struggles with slavery and his efforts to outlaw it, as well as his religious odyssey and the profound meditation he wrote on "the will of God" during the Civil War. By examining these aspects of Lincoln's life, White sheds new light on the complexities of this iconic figure, providing a compelling and thought-provoking biography that is essential reading for anyone interested in American history.
