Samenvatting:

In a nation split in two, Abraham Lincoln had to do something harder than win a war: sustain an idea. From his childhood on the frontier to the unbearable weight of the White House, this book traces the life of the man who led the United States through its most brutal crisis, while slavery and democracy faced each other head-on. In this third volume, you will discover his key decisions, his doubts, his contradictions, his gestures of compassion, and the shadows that also accompanied him. Gettysburg, reelection under attrition, assassination, and the birth of the myth are all part of a story where leadership is paid for with scars. More than a heroic portrait, here you will find Lincoln in his complexity: an imperfect president whose voice and legacy continue to challenge the present.
