James M. McPherson - Abraham Lincoln

This slim volume by the preeminent Civil War historian of our time is a perfect refresher on the life of Lincoln. McPherson states plainly that without Lincoln and his leadership during the war there would not a United States today. It would have been easy for Lincoln to have let the South go, but Lincoln was unwavering in his determination for a Union military victory, and history has bore out his wisdom.
