A full-color, graphic novel–style look at Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech, the bloody battle of the Civil War that prompted it, and how the two led to a defining point in American history that still has repercussions today.
Striking at the underlying meaning of Lincoln’s words, the book uses the Address to tell the whole story of the Civil War, depicting pivotal events that led to the upheaval of the secession crisis, the crucial Battle of Gettysburg, and the conflict’s still-unfolding legacy through firsthand accounts from Americans from all walks of life: slaves, soldiers, citizens, and, of course, Abraham Lincoln himself—the most transformational president in U.S. history.
