Abraham Lincoln and Civil War America is a short biography aimed at a general audience, but because of its short length, it will also be suitable for use on college courses in American history. The biography will concentrate on Lincoln's years as president, with particular emphasis upon his role in determining the course and outcome of the Civil War.
While the heart of the book focuses on the Civil War, Gienapp begins with a finely etched portrait of Lincoln''s early life, from pioneer farm boy, to politician and lawyer in Springfield, to his stunning election as sixteenth president of the United States. We see how Lincoln grew during his years in office, how he developed a keen aptitude for military strategy and displayed enormous skill in dealing with his generals, and also how his strategy evolved from a desire to preserve the Union into one of emancipation and total war.A former backwoodsman and country lawyer, Abraham Lincoln rose to become one of America''s greatest presidents. The biography offers a vivid account of Lincoln''s dramatic ascension to the pinnacle of American history.
