br. In una biografia rigorosa lo storico James McPherson racconta la gloriosa avventura umana di Abraham Lincoln, il sedicesimo presidente americano che con la sua guida seppe porre le basi per il formidabile sviluppo degli Stati Uniti contemporanei. Sullo sfondo di una Federazione ancora in costruzione, il libro ripercorre gli eventi fondamentali della vita di Lincoln: la sua affermazione professionale come avvocato, la risolutezza come comandante in capo durante la Guerra civile americana, l'abilità con cui riuscì a destreggiarsi tra separatisti e unionisti per mantenere l'equilibrio della nazione, la determinazione che lo portò a vincere la battaglia per l'abolizione della schiavitù. Nella narrazione di McPherson, episodi celebri come il Proclama di emancipazione si intrecciano con dettagli inediti sulla suggestiva personalità di Lincoln, per restituire vivida e reale la grandezza di un leader che ha contribuito a trasformare gli Stati Uniti nella potenza mondiale di oggi.
