"Lincoln immediately takes its place among the best of the genre, and it is unlikely that it will be surpassed in elegance, incisiveness and originality in this century. A book of investigative tenacity, interpretive boldness and almost acrobatic balance" (Harold Holzer, The Chicago Tribune). Donald's Lincoln, a national bestseller and winner of the Lincoln Prize, is widely regarded as the finest modern one-volume biography of the sixteenth president, distinguished by its close reliance on Lincoln's own words and its portrait of a self-made man of profound and evolving character. David Herbert Donald was among the most eminent American historians of his era, a longtime professor at Harvard and a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography, for his lives of the Radical Republican senator Charles Sumner and the novelist Thomas Wolfe.
