David Herbert Donald
A masterful work by Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning author David Herbert Donald, ,Lincoln, is a stunning portrait of Abraham Lincolnâ€™s life and presidency.,Donald brilliantly depicts Lincolnâ€™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 Lincolnâ€™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 Unionâ€”in short, one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen.
