DESCRIPTION

Subtitle: Abraham Lincoln’s Road to Civil War

Lincoln is the central axis of this story about America’s seemingly unstoppable march toward war, the shattering of its political landscape, and its grappling with the moral underpinnings of a republic of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Here are such key events as the Mexican-American War, the Dred Scott Case, westward expansion, the rise of the industrial north, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the birth of the Republican Party. And here we meet Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Zachary Taylor, Stephen Douglas, and abolitionists Wendell Phillips, John Brown, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. We see it all through the breathtaking writings of Lincoln himself, detailing his emergence onto the political scene and the evolution of his beliefs about the Union, democracy, slavery, and civil war.



REVIEWS

"An inherently dramatic story....[Waugh] brings to his task the keen eye for detail and scene-setting."—Wall Street Journal

“[L]ively prose backed with solid research….Waugh is particularly adept at weaving details of Lincoln's family life into the narrative….”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Waugh...recounts the 1864 election with great narrative skill. The story sweeps along, with brilliant vignettes of all the players in the drama and one vivid scene after another."—New York Times Book Review

"General audiences will delight in Waugh's expansive narrative full of colorful anecdotes. This book vividly illustrates why Abraham Lincoln remains a touchstone for democracy."—Thomas F. Schwartz, Illinois State Historian, Lincoln Presidential Library



JOHN C. WAUGH is the award-winning author of four other books about the Civil War, two of which have won major awards.
