Fiery Trial, The: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery by Eric Foner; 2010. Softcover.(Signed by Author)

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize

A master historian, Eric Foner draws Lincoln and the broader history of the period into perfect balance. We see Lincoln, a pragmatic politician grounded in principle, deftly navigating the dynamic politics of antislavery, secession, and civil war. Lincoln's greatness emerges from his capacity for moral and political growth.
