Non-Fiction History
David Herbert Donald's Lincoln is a stunningly original
portrait of Lincoln's life and presidency. Donald
brilliantly depicts Lincoln's gradual ascent from humble
beginnings in rural Kentucky to the ever- expanding
political circles in Illinois, and finally to the presidency
of a country divided by civil war. Donald goes beyond
biography, illuminating the gradual development of Lincoln's
character, chronicling his tremendous capacity for evolution
and growth, thus illustrating what made it possible for a
man so inexperienced and so unprepared for the presidency to
become a great moral leader. In the most troubled of times,
here was a man who led the country out of slavery and
preserved a shattered Union -- in short, one of the greatest
presidents this country has ever seen.
