"A brisk and elegant narrative that is likely to stand for some time as the definitive account of Lincoln's noblest achievement. . . .

Synopsis
One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of America's greatest president., One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of our greatest president. No single official paper in American history changed the lives of as many Americans as Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. But no American document has been held up to greater suspicion. Its bland and lawyerlike language is unfavorably compared to the soaring eloquence of the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural; its effectiveness in freeing the slaves has been dismissed as a legal illusion. And for some African-Americans the Proclamation raises doubts about Lincoln himself. "Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation" dispels the myths and mistakes surrounding the Emancipation Proclamation and skillfully reconstructs how America's greatest president wrote the greatest American proclamation of freedom., One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of our greatest president.

This seller is amazing! They shipped the item I bought almost immediately, it arrived quickly, and was well packed. Unfortunately there was an issue with the item, and I brought it to the seller's attention. They responded immediately by offering to send a replacement. The replacement also arrived very quickly, and was also packed with care, and was the perfect resolution to the initial issue. Thank you so much for the prompt communications, and going above and beyond my expectations!
