Description

Lincoln Vs. Davis: The War of the Presidents The untold story of the Civil War has finally been told. Nigel Hamilton, the New York Times bestselling presidential biographer, reveals the drama of how Abraham Lincoln grew into his critical role as U.S. commander-in-chief and outwitted his formidable opponent, Jefferson Davis, in a military faceoff that remains history's only confrontation between rival American presidents. Confronted with the most violent and challenging war ever seen on American soil, Lincoln seemed ill-suited to the task. However, he summoned the courage to make a climactic decision: issuing a proclamation freeing the 3.5 million enslaved Americans, a move that doomed the rebellion and secured the nation's future. This pivotal moment in American history is a gripping and thought-provoking account of leadership, strategy, and the ultimate cost of war.
