This volume of original essays, featuring an all-star lineup of Civil War and Lincoln scholars, is aimed at general readers and students eager to learn more about the most current interpretations of the period and the man at the center of its history. The contributors examine how Lincoln actively and consciously managed the war - diplomatically, militarily, and in the realm of what we might now call public relations - and in doing so, reshaped and redefined the fundamental role of the president.
