Reviews
Richard Striner has given us a keen, fresh look at Lincoln's challenging youth, his unlikely rise to the presidency, and his providential leadership in America's darkest hour. Summoned to Glory is an original, engaging, insightful view of the great man as a cagey politician and an audacious military and political strategist, enhanced by an enjoyable style and a depth of context often missing from Lincoln biographies. -- James B. Conroy, author of Lincoln's White House: The People's House in Wartime, co-winner of the 2017 Lincoln Prize
