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. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1861-1865 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a973.7/092 676 $aB 686 $aHIS000000$2bisacsh 700 $aGienapp$b William E$0245898 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973361703321 996 $aAbraham Lincoln and Civil War America$94433460 997 $aUNINA
