"A brisk and elegant narrative that is likely to stand for some time as the definitive account of Lincoln's noblest achievement. . . . Guelzo's book succeeds in restoring emancipation to its historical context. . . . He has provided the best account to date of the political virtuosity and unswerving idealism that gave Lincoln his victory in the difficult battle to destroy slavery." -- Los Angeles Times, "Most if not all of the preceding works [on the Emancipation Proclamation] will now pale with the publication ofLincoln's Emancipation Proclamationby [this] highly respected Lincoln scholar . . . With this volume, decades of misunderstanding about Lincoln's most controversial action now give way to exactly what Lincoln's proclamation was, for then and for all times."--Richmond Times-Dispatch, "Immediately takes its place not only as the newest study of emancipation, but far and away, the very best."-- Harold Holzer,Civil War Book Review, "This impressive work is a splendid history of the genesis, issuance and aftermath of Lincoln's epoch-making Emancipation Proclamation...The political and legal reasoning behind Lincoln's series of hugely difficult decisions has never been presented so well before nor in such authoritative detail...It's hard to imagine that this book will soon be surpassed as the definitive work on the subject."-- Publishers Weekly (starred), "A brisk and elegant narrative that is likely to stand for some time as the definitive account of Lincoln's noblest achievement. . . .

Synopsis
One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of America's greatest president., One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of our greatest president. No single official paper in American history changed the lives of as many Americans as Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. But no American document has been held up to greater suspicion. Its bland and lawyerlike language is unfavorably compared to the soaring eloquence of the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural; its effectiveness in freeing the slaves has been dismissed as a legal illusion. And for some African-Americans the Proclamation raises doubts about Lincoln himself. "Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation" dispels the myths and mistakes surrounding the Emancipation Proclamation and skillfully reconstructs how America's greatest president wrote the greatest American proclamation of freedom., One of the nation's foremost Lincoln scholars offers an authoritative consideration of the document that represents the most far-reaching accomplishment of our greatest president.

    This seller's price for the book I wanted was a little bit higher than other sellers, but the listing said it would be here in 2 to 4 days, unlike other sellers. I was leaving on a cruise in 3 days so I was really hoping to take this book with me. I am very grateful to say it arrived on Friday for my Saturday morning departure. I ordered another book right before I ordered this one and it says it will arrive on Wednesday. Very worth the small amount more to have it in time!
