Nota di contenuto

Lincoln's ambiguity -- Lincoln's decisionism and the politics of elimination -- Democratic ironies of Lincoln's cinematic exceptionalism -- A "humble offering": the (first) Lincoln memorial -- Lincoln's persistent racial ambivalence: colonization -- What to the Indian is the Gettysburg Address? -- American exceptionalism or American narcissism? The second inaugural -- Lincoln's tragic revenge.

Sommario/riassunto

In this book, political theorist Steve Johnston explores Lincoln's thought and political philosophy, but also his intentional and shrewdly calculated ambiguity - enabling him to be maximally politically effective in the face of unprecedented challenges.
