Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

With literate frankness, emphatic argumentation, and an abundance of sophisticated knowledge about Lincoln and his times, Krannawitter offers a brave, refreshing counter-revisionist assessment of our occasionally maligned and misunderstood 16th President. This book reminds us anew of why Lincoln was indeed great, and why so many of the recent books about him are not! Krannawitter has made a bracing, persuasive, and uplifting contribution to the literature.--Harold Holzer, co-chairman U.S. Lincoln Bicentennial Commission

Reseña del editor:

In this reasoned argument against the prevailing orthodoxies of the right, left, and center, Krannawitter takes on all of Lincoln's detractors and reasserts his contemporary relevance. A heady mix of narrative history and political insights, Vindicating Lincoln reveals a man whose political and moral example sets him apart as the greatest President of the United States of America.
