About this book

Donald T. Phillips examines how President Abraham Lincoln's leadership approach and wisdom can address contemporary American challenges. Drawing on Lincoln's own writings and speeches, Phillips analyzes how the sixteenth president navigated national divisions and conflicts similar to those facing the country today. The book applies Lincoln's example to modern policy issues including climate change, torture, immigration, and equal pay for women. Phillips argues that Lincoln's approach to leading a fractured nation offers relevant insights for resolving current divisions and challenges in the United States.
