Carwardine examines Lincoln''s rise to power and his achievements as US president. The book explores the wider sources of Lincoln''s authority and skills in embracing a broad range of elements within the Republican party. In particular, it looks at Lincoln''s shrewd relationship with evangelical Protestantism.
