"Disappointing. McPherson is brilliant, but it turns out that this is just a collection of lectures turned into a book. You're better off reading his actual books instead."
"Lincoln the Revolutionary, Lincoln the Crusader, the Visonary-- this collection of essays addresses a side of Lincoln that is largely overlooked while slapping down the Neo-Confederate Revisonists.
Those who tout the Myth of The Confederacy As Heirs to 1776 ( a popular fable here in the Commonwealth) will read this book and shrilly denonounce it. They will have however have to marshall something more than the "Standing up For Their Rights) argument as McPherson allows the words of the Confederates to speak for themselves. More importantly, he strips away the mythology surrounding Lincoln's actions and his goals and assesses them for what they were: the logical progression of the Revolutions of 1776 and 1787 (if you find that reference puzzling- come see me. Bring Bourbon)- at once a revolution that overthrew the existing social and political order, and a fulfillment of the earlier Revolution's philosophical goals. I used to assign this book as required reading in my American History classes. Go read it and find out why."
