br. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), con Washington e F.D. Roosevelt il più famoso presidente degli Stati Uniti, incarna il mito della frontiera e dell'uomo che si fa da sé: dalle foreste del West al Campidoglio, da contadino a presidente. Eletto nel 1860, dovette affrontare la crisi della nazione americana precipitata nella sanguinosissima guerra civile seguita alla secessione degli stati schiavisti. Nel farlo rafforzò il potere federale, modernizzò l'economia e liberò i 4.000.000 di schiavi presenti nel Sud; ma pagò i suoi successi con la vita, assassinato pochi giorni dopo la conclusione della guerra. Il libro delinea il ritratto coinvolgente di un uomo complicato, depresso cronico e quasi insondabile, intrecciandolo alla storia violenta, vitale e contraddittoria di un paese in formazione.
ill., br. Durante la guerra civile, Lincoln dovette affrontare problemi assai complessi. Commise, immancabilmente, degli errori ma da essi seppe imparare. E svolse al meglio le funzioni militari e politiche del comandante in capo: dominò il dibattito politico a Washington, definì una strategia di guerra per la nazione, contribuì alla scelta delle tattiche militari da applicare. Anche l'abolizione della schiavitù divenne un passaggio della strategia militare e politica di Lincoln. Il presidente si dimostrò anche in grado di far fronte alla trasformazione del conflitto: dal tradizionale bellicismo caratterizzato da obiettivi e mezzi limitati alla prima guerra totale della storia, che distrusse la vecchia Unione e ne costruì una nuova e migliore sulle sue ceneri.

2000122740Pocket 2000 509 pages in12. 2000. Broché. 509 pages. Le docteur Guy Carson est flatté quand Gene Dyne le patron de son laboratoire l'informe qu'il a été choisi pour rejoindre le laboratoire du Mont-Dragon dans le désert de Jornada au Nouveau-Mexique. S'il parvient à isoler le virus de la grippe Gene Dyne pourra se vanter d'avoir sauvé des millions de vies humaines et accessoirement s'assurer une immense fortune. Mais la thérapie génique n'est pas sans danger. Carson va découvrir que les manipulations de ses collègues ont entraîné la mutation du virus devenu maintenant plus dangereux qu'une bombe atomique. En outre toute l'équipe de recherche est en train de devenir furieusement paranoïaque... L'alliance du scientifique Douglas Preston et de l'auteur de thriller Lincoln Child fonctionne à merveille; elle assure une vraisemblance terrifiante à ce roman qui évite de mettre en scène les trop habituels apprentis sorciers du genre. Ici les personnages sont parfaitement crédibles ce qui ne fait qu'accentuer une terrible sensation d'angoisse. Un suspense passionnant. --Bruno Ménard
