President Lincoln

The Duty of a Statesman

William Lee Miller

This book delves into the life of one of America's greatest presidents: Abraham Lincoln. Examining his time in office during the Civil War, the author explores Lincoln's moral dilemmas and intellectual power, as well as his ability to balance resolve with judgement and magnanimity. Learn about Lincoln's transformation from a backcountry politician to a transformative head of state who preserved America while ending the injustice of slavery. Miller skillfully portrays Lincoln's war leadership and pardoning mentality, while eloquently describing the ultimate national task of guiding the nation to a new birth of freedom.

Lincoln is one of the greatest presidents--maybe human beings--who ever lived. These are my three favorite books about him. Especially Lincoln's Virtues. MUST READ.      source
