A. Lincoln: A Biography

(Random House) In this biography, the author asserts that Lincoln’s moral compass holds the key to understanding his life. With the recent completion of the Lincoln Legal Papers and recently discovered letters and photographs, White shows the evolution of Lincoln’s personal, political, and moral life. White portrays Lincoln as a person of intellectual curiosity, comfortable with ambiguity, and unafraid to “think anew and act anew.” White is the author of two bestselling books on Abraham Lincoln, a fellow at the Huntington Library, and a visiting professor of history at UCLA.
