"I think the world of Jim McPherson. When people ask me which historians writing today they shoudl read, I always recommend Jim, as a writer and as an historian."--David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 1776 and John Adams "A gem. Beautifully written, it is clear, concise, and correct. This is the best very brief biography of our sixteenth president ever written."--David Herbert Donald, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lincoln "Abraham Lincoln at last has found his best short biography. Jim McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War historian, brings his vast knowledge and lucid writing to an illumination of the life of America's most revered President. McPherson touches more Lincoln President. McPherson touches more Lincoln bases than any reader might reasonably expect, winning a well-deserved accolade that less is truly more."--Ronald C. White, Jr., author of A. Lincoln: A Biography "James McPherson's Abraham Linconl should be read by every American, indeed by every person the world over, who wants to understand the preeminent American president. McPherson's biography--brief, analytical, beautifully written--encompasses the whole of Lincoln's life. In but a few hours, every reader of this remarkable, short book can know the major moments in the rise of Lincoln-- from a poor boy on the western frontier to one of the world's greatest statesmen."--Lewis Lehrman, author of Lincoln at Peoria: A Turning Point and founder of the Lincoln Institute "Crisply written and judiciously compact, James M. McPherson's new book is an invaluable contribution--an authoritative biography of Abraham Lincoln that can be read at a single sitting."--Douglas L. Wilson, Lincoln Prize-winning author of Lincoln's Sword: The Presidency and the Power of Words, "I think the world of Jim McPherson. When people ask me which historians' writing today they should read, I always recommend Jim, as a writer and as an historian." --David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 1776 and John Adams"A gem.

McPherson's new book is an invaluable contribution--an authoritative biography of Abraham Lincoln that can be read at a single sitting."--Douglas L.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
