Thaddeus Stevens: Civil War Revolutionary, Fighter for Racial Justice 

byBruce Levine

A "powerful" (The Wall Street Journal) biography of one of the 19th century’s greatest statesmen, encompassing his decades-long fight against slavery and his postwar struggle to bring racial justice to America. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Thaddeus Stevens moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Thaddeus Stevens within biography & autobiography and history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment.
