Trade Review
The best one-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln that has ever been published.... It will take its place immediately on that relatively small shelf of Lincoln books that are of outstanding and enduring value. - Paul M. Angle, editor of The Lincoln Reader ""A stirring story of a humble man who rose to greatness through his loyalty to his country's highest principles; a book from which adherents of democracy today may draw new inspiration."" - Adlai E. Stevenson ""It is the best one-volume life of Lincoln ever written. And I'm not at all sure that that assertion needs the 'one-volume' qualification."" - Chicago Sunday Tribune
