Abraham Lincoln

Lord Charnwood has given us the most complete interpretation of Lincoln as yet produced and he has presented it in such artistic form that it may well become a classic. Charnwood's study of Lincoln's statesmanship introduced generations of Americans to the life and politics of Lincoln and the author's observations are so comprehensive and well supported that any serious study of Lincoln must respond to his conclusions. Many contemporary historians consider this thorough and superbly crafted work the quintessential biography of one of America's greatest presidents.
