His Presidency Is The Hinge On Which American History Pivots, The Time When The Young Republic Collapsed Of Its Own Contradictions And A New Birth Of Freedom, Sanctified By Blood, Created The United States We Know Today. His Story Has Been Told Many Times, But Never By A Man Who Himself Sought The Office Of President And Contemplated Its Awesome Responsibilities. George S. Mcgovern--midwesterner, Former U.s. Senator, Presidential Candidate, Veteran, And Historian By Training-- Shows How Lincoln Sometimes Went Astray, Particularly In His Restrictions On Civil Liberties, But Also How He Adjusted His Sights And Transformed The Civil War From A Political Dispute To A Moral Crusade. Mcgovern's Account Reminds Us Why We Hold Lincoln In Such Esteem And Why He Remains The Standard By Which His Successors Are Measured.--from Publisher Description.
