Lincoln
Value: points - Particulars)
A masterful work by Pulitzer Prize–successful writer David Herbert Donald, Lincoln is a shocking portrait of Abraham Lincoln’s life and presidency.
Donald brilliantly depicts Lincoln’s gradual ascent from humble beginnings in rural Kentucky to the ever-expanding political circles in Illinois, and at last to the presidency of a rustic divided by civil battle. Donald goes past biography, illuminating the gradual improvement of Lincoln’s character, chronicling his super capability for evolution and development, thus illustrating what made it attainable for a person so inexperienced and so unprepared for the presidency to turn out to be a terrific ethical chief. In probably the most troubled of instances, right here was a person who led the nation out of slavery and preserved a shattered Union—in brief, one of many biggest presidents this nation has ever seen.
