While I like Lincoln, this book was too much into the small stuff for me. (  )Rhohanin61 | Mar 18, 2008 |   0.013 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0582032792, Paperback)Leader of the anti-slavery Republican coalition and the wartime Union, Abraham Lincoln has become a model of a particular kind of democratic politician who led rather than followed. The latest volume in the very successful Profiles in Power series tells the story of a wartime leader who had to grapple with issues of responsibility, rights and nationalism. B> Richard J. Carwardine examines Lincoln's rise to power and his achievements as US president. The book explores the wider sources of Lincoln's authority and skills in embracing a broad range of elements within the Republican party. In particular, it looks at Lincoln's shrewd relationship with evangelical Protestantism. His ability to harness and channel the power of the Protestant constituency was key to his winning the presidency and rallying support behind his national and emancipatory vision. For those interested in Lincoln, the Presidency and the Civil War.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:15 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
