　　The award-winning historian John C. Waugh takes us on

Lincoln's road to the Civil War. From Lincoln's first public

rejection of slavery to his secret arrival in the capital, from his

stunning debates with Stephen Douglas to his more contemplatie

moments, Waugh shows us America as Lincoln saw it and as Lincoln

described it. Much of this wonderful story is told by Lincoln

himself, detailing through his own writing his emergence onto the

political scene and the evolution of his beliefs about the Union,

the Constitution, democracy, slavery, and the buildup to the Civil

War. In this acclaimed biography, Waugh brings us ever closer to

understanding this mysterious, complicated, and truly great

man.
