Críticas
Nielsen BookData
"A tremendously readable study that promises to become a classic; highly recommended for academic and larger public libraries."--Library Journal "In this engrossing study [Jones] examines Lincoln's attitudes towards slavery and his gradual realization that the war must be fought for a "new birth of freedom," not merely for the preservation of the old political structure. This is a fine achievement of historical scholarship."--Booklist"In this informative, important study, Jones builds on a foundation laid in his Union in Peril to expand dramatically the interpretation of Civil War diplomacy beyond a simplistic antislavery versus King Cotton with the addition of the quixotic, imperial visions of Napoleon III... All in all a valuable study of great importance to Lincoln and Civil War scholarship."--Choice Ler mais...
