Lincoln on Leadership for Today

<p>"Don Phillips has done it again . . . bringing Lincoln's brilliant leadership to life. Lincoln's brilliance is as relevant today as it was a century and half ago." -- George Bodenheimer former president ESPN and author of <em>Every Town Is a Sports Town</em><br /><br /><strong>How can President Lincoln's wisdom be applied to the most pressing conflicts of modern-day America?</strong><br /><br />With a characteristically fresh and perceptive reading of Abraham Lincoln's own writings and speeches best-selling author Donald T. Phillips reveals how America's sixteenth president handled many of the same national dilemmas we face today. Looking to Lincoln's exemplary leadership of a fractured nation Phillips offers a deeply relevant analysis of how Lincoln's example could help forge solutions to the many issues and divisions challenging our country now.<br /><br />"[An] intelligent and often moving look at one of the nation's greatest presidents . . . Using his extensive knowledge of Lincoln Phillips makes convincing cases throughout for what the nineteenth-century statesman's opinion would be on a wide array of issues faced by the twenty-first-century United States including climate change torture immigration and equal pay for women. For readers who find present-day politics almost too much to contemplate Phillips's closing vision of Lincoln witnessing the 'current state of affairs' will be especially poignant and bittersweet." <em>-- Publishers Weekly</em></p>
