Lincoln on the Verge: Thirteen Days to Washington

byTed Widmer

Lincoln on the Verge tells the dramatic story of America’s greatest president discovering his own strength to save the Republic. The argument in Lincoln on the Verge develops through biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the thirteen days to washington to larger questions in biography & autobiography and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Lincoln on the Verge preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
