Abraham Lincoln: The Man Behind the Myths
Stephen B Oates
An essential book for any student of Lincoln and American history, Abraham Lincoln: The Man behind the Myths is acclaimed Lincoln biographer Stephen B. Oates’s unique exploration of America’s sixteenth president in reality and memory.
In this multifaceted portrait, Oates, the most popular historical interpreter of Lincoln (Gabor S. Boritt, New York Times Book Review), exposes the human side of the great and tragic president–including his depression, his difficulties with love, and his troubled and troubling attitudes about slavery–while also confronting the many legends that have arisen around Honest Abe. Oates throughout raises timely questions about what the Lincoln mythos reveals about the American people.
