It may be little exaggeration to say that the figure of Abraham Lincoln embodies the American ideal more so than any other U.S. president.

Lincoln’s remarkable life—from his childhood to his role as Commander in Chief during the Civil War to his tragic death—is chronicled in this captivating volume.
