This well-rounded selection of Abraham Lincoln's finest speeches combines the classic and obscure, the lyrical and historical, and the inspirational and intellectual to present a historical arc marking periods of the Civil War-crisis, outbreak, escalation, victory, and Reconstruction. Addressing the conflict's multiple aspects-the issue of slavery, state versus federal power, the meaning of the Constitution, civic duty, death, and freedom-this elegant keepsake collection will make a wonderful inspirational gift for professed Lincoln fans, Civil War buffs, and lovers of rhetorical genius.

The speeches which are compiled within this book adequately represent the prestige of Lincoln's oratory. In this it does well, and it will serve the student of history who wishes to begin a study of Lincoln's speeches. However, this book does not adequately represent Lincoln's views on the war as the title would suggest. Lincoln's letters ans correspondence must also be read to get a full appreciation of Lincoln on the Civil War. (
