A radical reinterpretation of America's greatest president

Where previous Lincoln biographers describe his temperament as "moderate", "passive", or even "conservative", historian Richard Striner offers a stunningly original perspective that will shed significant new light on one of the most studied figures in American history. Striner shows Lincoln's audacity as no other book has ever done. By emphasizing the workings of Lincoln's mind - stressing his cunning, his overall honesty, strategic thinking - even his ability to change his mind - Striner looks anew at many topics and themes important to Lincoln's story that either revise or add new meaning to the work of previous biographers. His insights into Lincoln's life, but also into antebellum America, and the military and political history of the Civil War, make this book indispensable for well-read armchair historians, seasoned students of Lincoln, the Civil War, or the American presidency and newcomers alike.

This biography gets to the heart of who Lincoln truly was and how profoundly was the loss to our nation when his life ended when and how it did.

Quality of research, and brilliance of writing.

A very good outline of Lincoln’s life and presidency. The author warns of the tendency to canonize Lincoln and then gradually throughout the book does just that. However that is completely understandable. The story highlights many of the lesser known aspects of his life and public service. My only criticism would be that the author seems to downplay ant evolution in Lincoln instead arguing that he was at the right place all along. That may be true in some respects but not all. One of the most admirable qualities Lincoln displayed was his willingness to learn, adapt and grow. Highly recommend this book.

A very worthwhile listen.

This biography of Abraham Lincoln captures his exceptional strength and wisdom by making frequent use of his own letters, speeches and commentary. I have spent a lifetime studying and reading Lincoln biographies and can unequivocally say this book is one of the best.
