This landmark work gives a definitive account of Lincoln's lifelong engagement with the nation's critical issue: American slavery.
Historian Eric Foner portrays Lincoln, a pragmatic politician grounded in principle, deftly navigating the dynamic politics of antislavery, secession, and civil war. Lincoln’s greatness ultimately emerges from his capacity for moral and political growth. "No one else has written about [Lincoln’s] trajectory of change with such balance, fairness, depth of analysis, and lucid precision of language," says Pulitzer Prize–winning historian James M. McPherson.
