David Herbert Donald
David Herbert Donald, Lincoln biographer and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, has revised and updated his classic and influential book on Lincoln and the era he dominated.,When ,Lincoln Reconsidered, was first published it ushered in the process of rethinking the Civil War that continues to this day. In the third edition, David provides two important new essays, on Lincoln's patchy educationâ€”which we find was more extensive than even the great man realizedâ€”and on Lincoln's complex and conflicted relationship to the rule of law. Together with a new preface and a thoroughly updated bibliographical essay, ,Lincoln Reconsidered, will continue to be a touchstone of Lincoln scholarship for decades to come.
