'The portrait is reasoned, judicious, straightforward and utterly convincing.' THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW.
In this profoundly moving work of epic proportion and intense human sympathy, Abraham Lincoln is observed by his loved ones, his rivals, and his future assassins. In this brilliantly realized, vividly imagined work of fiction, Gore Vidal gives us a portrait of Americas great president that is at once intimate and public, stark and complex, and that will become for future generations the living Lincoln, the definitive Lincoln. 'Richly entertaining.For the general reader the elegant explication of the issues of the day gives hearty satisfaction: history lessons with the blood still hot.' THE WASHINGTON POST.
