Reviews for A. Lincoln
&#;Ronald C. White&#;s A. Lincoln is the best biography of Lincoln since David Donald&#;s Lincoln (). In many respects it is better than Donald&#;s biography, because it has incorporated the scholarship of the past fourteen years and is written in a fluent style that will appeal to a large range of general readers as well as Lincoln aficionados. The special strengths of A. Lincoln that lift it above other biographies include a brilliant analysis of Lincoln&#;s principal speeches and writings, which were an important weapon in his political leadership and statesmanship, and on which Ron White is the foremost expert, having written two major books on Lincoln&#;s speeches and writings. Another strength is White&#;s analysis of Lincoln&#;s evolving religious convictions, which shaped the core of his effective leadership, his moral integrity. White&#;s discussion of Lincoln&#;s changing attitudes and policies with respect to slavery and race is also a key aspect of this biography. Amid all the books on Lincoln that will be published during the coming year, this one will stand out as one of the best.&#;
