SIX ENCOUNTERS WITH LINCOLN
A President Confronts Democracy and Its Demons
By Elizabeth Brown Pryor

"At a moment when questions about the efficacy of democracy are on everyone’s lips, this book eerily reflects some of today’s key issues. Among them are the military’s part in domestic policy; the protections appropriate to noncitizens (in Lincoln’s case, Native Americans); the limits of female citizenship; the meaning of free speech; and states’ rights to contravene personal liberty."
