Lincoln, the Liberal StatesmanDodd, Mead, 1962 - 266 pages "Dr. Randall, whom Allan Nevins called 'the profoundest student of Lincoln's career,' portrays Lincoln's steadfast liberalism against the background of a blundering generation. Here the unpopular Lincoln is met; the troubled and worried Lincoln made human. The curious friendship between Lincoln and John Bright is traced and the influence each exerted on the other. From these pages Lincoln emerges as a great liberal statesman in all that the term implies" --Back cover. |
