Relying extensively on resources never before available--recently-opened personal papers, letters, transcripts, newspaper reports--as well as computer-research techniques never before employed, Donald is the first to be able to portray Lincoln in all his complexity, depicting the day-to-day subtleties of his presidency and recreating his world with immediacy and detail.

"In most writing about Lincoln, the resonance is piped in from outside, the milieu from which he sprang, the social and political context in which he acted, his changing image, his enduring influence. In Donald's biography, the resonance emanates from Lincoln himself, who left a powerful impression on everyone who ever met him. Without novelizing, Donald re-creates what it must have been like to be in Lincoln's presence--and even in his head."
