Lincoln And The Fight For Peace by John P. Avlon

The Moral Leadership of a President

A concise, revisionist portrait of Abraham Lincoln as a wartime statesman who sought not merely military victory but a durable peace, detailing how he navigated emancipation, diplomacy, political compromise, and Reconstruction planning; the book follows his evolving policies, clashes with generals and politicians, and the fragile consensus he built that began to unravel after his assassination.
