About
In order to become a great man, Abraham Lincoln first had to become a great politician. In his epic four-volume biography, Sidney Blumenthal, one of America's foremost political analysts, presents a revelatory portrait of Lincoln the politician.
Volume 1, A Self-Made Man, begins with Lincoln's painful childhood when he thought of himself as his father's slave and charts his determined emergence as the man we recognize as Abraham Lincoln. Blumenthal's vivid account of Lincoln's early years is based on prodigious research. It places Lincoln squarely in the politics of this tumultuous period.
