"When in the spring of 1925, the late Senator Beveridge was deep in research for the great life of Lincoln he was never to complete, and was seeking guidance and corroboration frmo scholars all over the country, he was surprised at the frequence with which the scholards suggested that a psychiatrist would be a more useful adviser than a historian. Gradually his researches convinced him that the key to Lincoln's strange personality, as well as to his greatness, was to be found in the lore of abnormal psychology. Even at that time a distinguished psychiatrist, who is also an ardent admirer of Lincoln, was at work on a complete life of Lincoln from the psychoanalytic viewpoint. His narrative arranges all the facts, all the events, into a pattern only a psychiatrist could discern. The ambiguities, dualities and complexities of Lincoln are, for the first time, laid bare and made explicable."- publisher's description.
