This full rounded biography of America's 16th President is the product of Donald's half-a-century of study of Lincoln & his times. In preparing it, Donald has drawn more extensively than any previous writer on Lincoln's personal papers & on those of his contemporaries, & he has taken full advantage of the voluminous newly discovered records of Lincoln's legal practice. He presents his findings w/ the same literary skill & psychological understanding exhibited in his previous biographies, which have received two Pulitzer Prizes. Donald brilliantly traces Lincoln's rise from humble origins to prominent positions in legal & political circles in Illinois & then to the pinnacle of the presidency. He shows how, in all these roles, Lincoln repeatedly demonstrated his enormous capacity for growth, which enabled one of the least experienced & most poorly prepared men ever elected to high office to become a giant in the annals of American politics. Much more than a political biography, Donald's "Lincoln" reveals the development of the future president's character& shows how his private life helped to shape his public career. In Donald's skillful hands, Lincoln emerges as a youthful, vigorous president. One of the youngest men ever to occupy the White House, he was also the husband of an even younger wife & the father of boisterous children. We witness how Lincoln's absorption w/ politics disrupted his family life, & how his often tumultuous marriage affected his political career. And we see a man renowned for his storytelling & his often sidesplitting humor lapse into periods of deep melancholy to which he was prone, not only during the dark days of the Civil War but throughout his life. Donald's biography is written from Lincoln's point of view. In re-creating Lincoln's world, Donald seats us behind the President's desk, where we read the papers & reports he received & wrote, meet the politicians & generals & ordinary citizens who visited the President's office, & observe Lincoln evaluating the evidence before him & making the decisions that shaped modern America. Donald's strikingly original portrait of Lincoln depicts a man who was basically passive by nature, who confessed that he did not control events but events had controlled him. Yet coupled w/ that fatalism was an unbounded ambition that drove him to take enormous political risks & enabled him to overcome repeated defeats. Donald shows that Lincoln was a master of ambiguity & expediency, but he also stresses that Lincoln was a great moral leader, inflexibly opposed to slavery & absolutely committed to preserving the Union. * David Herbert Donald (October 1, 1920 ? May 17, 2009) was for many years professor of American historian at Harvard University. He is best known for his 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Abraham Lincoln. Books.
