Summary

A collection of essays that explore Lincoln's leadership as commander-in-chief, deft political operator, and powerful theologian. Taken together, the essays suggest the interplay of military, political, and religious factors informing Lincoln's thought and action and guiding the dynamics of his leadership. They point to the ways that Lincoln's decision making defined the presidency and recast understandings of American "exceptionalism."
