FROM THE PUBLISHER
In this one-volume biography, Benjamin P. Thomas presents all the significant events and achievements in the life of one of the greatest presidents, and greatest men, in American history—Abraham Lincoln. Aside from the usually myth-making of this American figure, i.e. his humble upbringing by a pioneer family; his diligent dedication to self-education; and his remarkable rise from small town lawyer to presidential candidate, Thomas also gives the full account of a skillful politician and complicated man, who took on an enormous amount of personal and public responsibility during the greatest crisis in our nation's history. Hence, there is no doubt that Abraham Lincoln: A Biography is the complete resource for learning about the makings of a truly great American hero.
