Reviews

Few historians write as well as McPherson, and none evoke the sound of battle with greater clarity. . . . McPherson draws on almost fifty years of research to present a cogent and concise narrative of how Lincoln, working against enormous odds, saved the United States of America. <br> -Jean Edward Smith, The New York Times Book Review <br> It is hard to do justice in a short review to how convincingly and compellingly McPherson narrates Lincoln's simultaneous mastery of the political, strategic and moral challenge of his historical moment. <br>-Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times <br> Masterful. . . . Destined to become a classic. <br>-Jay Winik, The Boston Globe <br> The definitive portrait of Lincoln as war leader. <br> - The Washington Post
