Lincoln's Quest for Union

Historical analysis and psychological inquiry are combined in this insightful portrait of Abraham Lincoln.

An investigation into his important personal relations-with his parents, his wife and children, and with his law partners-shed light on the public triumphs of this great political figure. more
