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.

br. Le presidenze di John Fitzgerald Kennedy e di Abraham Lincoln sono ricordate per i grandi cambiamenti storici che esse introdussero nella società americana. Ma è davvero possibile considerare questi leader come rivoluzionari sovvertitori della tradizione degli Stati Uniti? L'analisi concreta della politica dei due grandi presidenti rivela aspetti sorprendenti e per certi versi mai indagati, che permettono di stabilire fino a che punto il mito che accompagna le loro figure sia davvero giustificato dalla concreta politica che essi seguirono. Il testo concilia profonda scorrevolezza e facilità di lettura con precisione storica e attenzione alle figure che accompagnarono la vita prematuramente interrotta di Lincoln e Kennedy, due protagonisti uniti da un filo che, attraverso un secolo di storia, segna il coraggio delle loro azioni e la drammaticità della loro fine, proiettandone il carisma fino ai nostri tempi. La storia può talvolta essere ripercorsa con le forme di un racconto senza rinunciare a conclusioni documentate, serie e innovative.
