Lincoln

Alexander J. Groth

4.9/5 (12780 ratings)

Description:The central theme of this book is that -- contrary to popular myth -- our Sixteenth President actually provides more reason for DOUBT than for VINDICATION of the universal viability & effectiveness of political democracy. Lincoln's view of leadership was in his own words: "In a storm at sea, no one on board can wish the ship to sink; & yet, not infrequently all go down together, because too many will direct, & no single mind should be allowed to control." Despite his historical image, our Authoritarian Savior's methods, employed to rescue a foundering representative political system, cannot be reconciled with any intellectually honest notion of "democracy." How that was possible is analyzed in relation to the divisions of the American body politic & the extraordinary personal qualities of Lincoln. This book, scholarly but highly readable, will be of value to those interested in Lincoln, the Civil War, & in recurring challenges to democracy everywhere. It will be suitable as reading material for the general public & an appropriate gift for the historically minded. Published by Groth Associates, Inc., 505 Second Street, Davis, CA 95616.
