The Gettysburg Lectures
"e;Americans interested in history need to make the pilgrimage to Gettysburg,"e;        writes Gabor Boritt in the Acknowledgments. In this book seven historians make that        journey, five of them Pulitzer laureates, looking for Lincoln. Kenneth Stampp        explores the issue of national self-determination, comparing the South's struggle        for independence to others in history (including the post-Soviets in eastern        Europe). Arthur Schlessinger, Jr. offers a provocative comparison of how Lincoln and        our other outstanding war president, FDR, went beyond the limits of the        Constitution--and why. David Brion Davis focuses on the moment of emancipation.          Boritt traces Lincoln's transition from a strident war opponent as a young man to        resolute war leader as president. Carl Degler compares the American attempt at        national unification with the unifications of Italy, Germany, and other nations.          Robert Bruce contrasts premonitions of civil war with Lincoln's reluctance to accept        war as a possibility. And James McPherson establishes once and for all the war        president's brilliance as a national strategist. These outstanding essays--all but        one published here for the first time--offer a new understanding of a revolutionary        epoch in American history, and of the role of the leader who helped transform the        nation forever.
