Pulitzer Prizewinning biographer and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham chronicles the life of Abraham Lincoln, charting howand whyhe confronted secession, threats to democracy, and the tragedy of slavery to expand the possibilities of America. In his captivating new book, Jon Meacham has given us the Lincoln for our time.Henry Louis Gates, Jr.a president who governed a divided country has much to teach us in a twenty-first-century moment of polarization and political crisis. Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when implacable secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations.At once familiar and elusive, Lincoln tends to be seen as the greatest of American presidentsa remote iconor as a politician driven more by calculation than by conviction. This illuminating new portrait gives us a very human Lincolnan imperfect man whose moral antislavery commitment, essential to the story of justice in America, began as he grew up in an antislavery Baptist community; who insisted that slavery was a moral evil; and who sought, as he put it, to do right as God gave him to see the right.
