Agar chronicles Lincoln's improbable rise from frontier poverty to the highest office in the land, capturing the iron resolve and rare moral intelligence that defined his presidency during the cataclysm of the Civil War.\n\nAgar, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and journalist, brings his formidable analytical gifts to bear on Lincoln's character, arguing that his greatness lay not merely in political genius but in a profound, almost tragic, understanding of human nature and national destiny. Written with narrative clarity and historical authority, this biography illuminates the enduring tensions of democracy, unity, and leadership that Lincoln embodied, leaving the reader to wonder whether such a confluence of character and circumstance could ever arise again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203248824539,"sku":"2026200015801-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/eddf1817-c05a-4c2a-8d44-af43d76a16d1.png?v=1788146381","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015801-secondhand-abraham-lincoln","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
