A masterful work by Pulitzer Prize–winning author David Herbert Donald; Lincoln is a stunning portrait of Abraham Lincoln’s life and presidency.Donald brilliantly depicts Lincoln’s gradual ascent from humble beginnings in rural Kentucky to the ever-expanding political circles in Illinois; and finally to the presidency of a country divided by civil war. Donald goes beyond biography; illuminating the gradual development of Lincoln’s character; chronicling his tremendous capacity for evolution and growth; thus illustrating what made it possible for a man so inexperienced and so unprepared for the presidency to become a great moral leader. In the most troubled of times; here was a man who led the country out of slavery and preserved a shattered Union—in short; one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen.
