Synopsis
"There is no better introduction to current thinking about Lincoln and his place in history." -- Newsday "Oates re-creates the life and world of Abraham Lincoln with the skill of a master painter. He succeeds in portraying both the facts and myths of history as essential to our understanding it." --Christian Science Monitor An essential book for any student of Lincoln and American history, Abraham Lincoln: The Man Behind the Myths is acclaimed Lincoln biographer Stephen B. Oates's unique exploration of America's sixteenth president in reality and memory. In this multifaceted portrait, Oates, "the most popular historical interpreter of Lincoln" (Gabor S. Boritt, New York Times Book Review ), exposes the human side of the great and tragic president--including his depression, his difficulties with love, and his troubled and troubling attitudes about slavery--while also confronting the many legends that have arisen around "Honest Abe." Oates throughout raises timely questions about what the Lincoln mythos reveals about the American people., "There is no better introduction to current thinking about Lincoln and his place in history." -Newsday "Here, in these pages, Lincoln is still alive." -Los Angeles Times From Stephen B. Oates comes a riveting companion to his seminal Lincoln biography With Malice Toward None. Exploring the complex mythology surrounding the sixteenth President, including iconic images of Lincoln as Honest Abe, the Rail Splitter, and the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln: The Man Behind The Myths offers a penetrating look at Lincoln's life and impact, indispensible for any student of great leadership, the Civil War, and American history., "There is no better introduction to current thinking about Lincoln and his place in history." --Newsday "Oates re-creates the life and world of Abraham Lincoln with the skill of a master painter.
