Boss Lincoln

This audiobook offers an insightful look into Abraham Lincoln's behind-the-scenes political career, highlighting his mastery of party politics and coalition-building that laid the groundwork for emancipation and Union victory. Drawing on Lincoln’s private correspondence, it explores a less visible, yet equally vital, side of his leadership—his skillful navigation of partisan waters from his early days as a Whig to his presidency. Matthew Pinsker’s detailed biography brings Lincoln to life as a complex and dynamic figure, beyond the well-known image of the eloquent leader.
