What Lincoln <i>Really</i> Believed

In his just-released book What Lincoln Believed, Michael Lind offers the most comprehensive study yet written of the beliefs and policies of America's greatest president. In addition to revealing the principles that guided Lincoln in opposing slavery and rescuing the Union during the Civil War, Lind provides an in-depth look at the public philosophy that shaped Lincoln and, through him, the United States and the modern world. According to the New York Times Book Review, What Lincoln Believed "will almost certainly change the way you think about America and one of its greatest presidents.'
