Sommario/riassunto: Lincoln's Way details the long and important historical trend that spanned six presidencies. Striner argues that Lincoln took the young nation that the Founders created and positioned it for global power. Lincoln consolidated assets and borrowed wisdom from the left and right, and he created a political tradition that would influence the twentieth century.
