This is a unique work on Abraham Lincoln, one which focuses on the deeper principles and ideas which motivated Lincoln throughout his life. Topics include: Lincoln and Education, Lincoln and Science, Greenbacks and National Banking, Shakespeare and Macbeth, Lincoln and metaphor, Lincoln versus the British Empire, Edward Baker, the creation of the Republican Party, and much, much more. It is written with the purpose of asking the question, "What is the relevance of Lincoln for today?" and it explores those qualities of leadership and morality which we can all learn from. It is unlike any other work on Lincoln you will have read.
