This book was written by Lord Charnwood, published in 1938, the narrative is 456 pages and is not illustrated. One of the most important works on Abraham Lincoln from the era when he was passing out of living memory and into history, this 1917 classic is a rich, evocative portrait of the man and how actions as a leader were shaped by his character and ideals. From its British perspective, offering a fresh angle on an American legend, to its charming readability, Charnwood's treatise-which was called , in 1947, "the best one volume life of Lincoln ever written" by historian Benjamin Thomas, today remains one of the most intriguing examinations of the great president, and the keystone for understanding the evolution of Lincoln scholarship. This hard back book is in excellent condition, but does not have a dust jacket.
