Summary "Despite the voluminous literature on Abraham Lincoln, no other book in the field of political science is comparable to Lincoln's American Dream. This unique collection of provocative essays by leading scholars addresses comprehensively the overarching themes of Lincoln's political thought, leadership, and legacy. Each chapter is devoted to one of these major themes about Lincoln." "Lincoln's American Dream will be of interest to scholars, students, teachers, and Lincoln aficionados alike and will attract interest in the fields of American history, leadership, religion and culture, American studies, and African-American studies."--Jacket
