Harold Holzer
About the Author:
Chicago Tribune
""Lincoln immediately takes its place among the best of the genre, and it is unlikely that it will be surpassed in elegance, incisiveness and originality in this century. . . . A book of investigative tenacity, interpretive boldness and almost acrobatic balance."
James M. McPherson
The Atlantic Monthly
"Eagerly awaited, "Lincoln" fulfills expectations. Donald writes with lucidity and elegance."
David W. Blight
Los Angeles Times
"A one-volume study of Lincoln's life that will augment and replace the previous modern standards by Benjamin Thomas (1953) and Stephen Oates (1977). Donald's "Lincoln" is a scholarly achievement."
