Stunning in its breadth and conclusions,this is a fiercely original history of the five decades that pivoted around the presidency of Abraham Lincoln.

In a remarkable reappraisal of Lincoln, the distinguished historian Burton shows how the president’s authentic Southernness empowered him to conduct a civil war that redefined freedom as a personal right to be expanded to all Americans. Presenting a fresh conceptualization of the defining decades of modern America, The Age of Lincoln is narrative history of the highest order.

“…the book captures in excellent prose the early decades of modern American history.”—Booklist
