While the heart of the book focuses on the Civil War, Gienapp begins with a finely etched portrait of Lincoln's early life, from pioneer farm boy to politician and lawyer in Springfield, to his stunning election as sixteenth president of the United States. Students will see how Lincoln grew during his years in office, how he developed a keen aptitude for military strategy and displayed enormous skill in dealing with his generals, and how his war strategy evolved from a desire to preserve the Union to emancipation and total war.PresidentsUnited StatesBiographyUnited StatesPolitics and government1861-1865Presidents973.7/092BHIS000000bisacshGienapp William E245898MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973361703321Abraham Lincoln and Civil War America4433460UNINA
