All The Powers Of Earth by Sidney Blumenthal
A tightly argued political biography that follows Abraham Lincoln’s rise and leadership, portraying him as a shrewd, pragmatic statesman who fused moral conviction with ruthless political skill to preserve the Union and bring about emancipation. The narrative emphasizes how he expanded and wielded executive power during the Civil War, navigated party factions and rivals, managed public opinion and the press, and made hard, often improvisatory decisions under pressure to reconcile competing legal, military and ethical demands. Drawing on political episodes and correspondence, the book presents Lincoln less as an aloof moral exemplar and more as a consummate politician whose mastery of power was central to the nation’s survival and transformation.
