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.
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.

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. Autori: Marco Casetta.
