About this book

Stephen B. Oates's biography presents a comprehensive portrait of Abraham Lincoln as a historical figure rather than a mythologized one. The work traces Lincoln's journey from poverty on the American midwestern frontier through his self-made success in business, law, and regional politics. The second half examines Lincoln's presidency during the Civil War, covering his leadership through the conflict's tumultuous and bloody years, concluding with his assassination. Oates combines historical research with narrative pacing to create a detailed account of Lincoln's life and legacy.
