Abraham Lincoln: Great American Historians on our Sixteenth President

This book is an effort to chronicle the life and legacy of America's sixteenth president through the eyes of fifty-six of the country's leading Lincoln historians, journalists, and writers. Richly detailed essays are drawn from C-SPAN interviews with Lincoln scholars, presidential historians, and Civil War experts. Fascinating, little-known anecdotes are brought to light by historians. Critics of Lincoln offer less laudatory views of the president. The resulting book offers a detailed portrait of Lincoln in a single 371 page volume.
