byAbraham LincolnandJon Meacham

A president who governed a divided country has much to teach us in a twenty-first-century moment of polarization and political crisis. And There Was Light combines biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of biography & autobiography and history, And There Was Light explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the abraham lincoln and the american struggle emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
