On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates & Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed & angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession & civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged & accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives & desires. It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, & marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union & winning the war. We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes w/ incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, & his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, & in the case of Seward, finds a loyal & crucial friend to see him through. This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men & how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "An elegant, incisive study of Lincoln & leading members of his cabinet that will appeal to experts as well as to those whose knowledge of Lincoln is an amalgam of high school history & popular mythology. . . . Goodwin has brilliantly described how Lincoln forged a team that preserved a nation & freed America from the curse of slavery." - James M. McPherson, The New York Times Book Review -- "A brilliantly conceived & well-written tour de force of historical narrative. . . . Goodwin's contribution is refreshingly unique. . . . Goodwin's emotive prose elevates this tome from mere popular history to literary achievement." - Douglas Brinkley, The Boston Globe -- "Goodwin finds her Lincoln hiding in plain view. He is Lincoln the politician, but one whose political shrewdness ends up being indistinguishable from wisdom. She has written a wonderful book. There is a man in it." - Gary Wills, American Scholar * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for our posted below-cost additional fee of $12.00 & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
