出版商概要

"A startlingly original and deeply thoughtful analysis of Abraham Lincoln. If you are looking to read just one book on Lincoln, this landmark gem is the one!"--Douglas Brinkley

"A dramatically engaging and intellectually stimulating rendering of the life of our greatest president."--Thomas J. Knock, Southern Methodist University

"McGovern's "Lincoln" is a finely wrought gem. In this small volume McGovern captures Lincoln's character and leadership strength better than many weighty tomes. It is a worthy addition to the brilliant American Presidents Series."--Doris Kearns Goodwin

"Short and sweet... a well-timed entry in Times Books' presidents series."--"Boston Sunday Globe"

""Abraham Lincoln" is an entry in the highly regarded American Presidents series... A fine read for those who want to know about Lincoln but may not have the time for the more in-depth biographies."--"Bookpage"

"Compact and commanding... With considerable skill and insight, McGovern... crafts a biography snappy, clear and comprehensive enough to please general readers, students and scholars alike... he nails the essential strengths, flaws, failures and achievements of America's most revered leader... McGovern's overall depiction is one of a complex, tolerant and extraordinary man who simultaneously preserved the Union and transformed the nation."--"Kirkus Reviews"

"McGovern finds an inspiring lesson in what a man can do with his life. McGovern's Lincoln is a smart, ambitious striver who overcame humble origins, repeated setbacks and spells of depression... when McGovern's lucid homage concludes, 'We wish our leaders could be more like Lincoln; we wish we all could be, ' readers are likely to agree."--"Publishers Weekly"

"In this compact but convincing portrait, [McGovern] assesses Lincoln's greatness in terms of his ability to use his humble origins... faith in American democracy, gifts of language, and personal self-confidence... The biography warrants reading to catch the sen 再读一些...
