The Pulitzer Prize-winning author reveals how Lincoln

won the Civil War and invented the role of commander in chief as we

know it

As we celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth,

this study by preeminent, bestselling Civil War historian James M.

McPherson provides a rare, fresh take on one of the most enigmatic

figures in American history. Tried by War offers a

revelatory (and timely) portrait of leadership during the greatest

crisis our nation has ever endured. Suspenseful and inspiring, this

is the story of how Lincoln, with almost no previous military

experience before entering the White House, assumed the powers

associated with the role of commander in chief, and through his

strategic insight and will to fight changed the course of the war

and saved the Union.

"Few historians write as well as McPherson, and none evoke the

sound of battle with greater clarity. . . . McPherson draws on

almost fifty years of research to present a cogent and concise

narrative of how Lincoln, working against enormous odds, saved the

United States of America."

-Jean Edward Smith, The New York Times Book Review

"It is hard to do justice in a short review to how convincingly and

compellingly McPherson narrates Lincoln's simultaneous mastery of

the political, strategic and moral challenge of his historical

moment."

-Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times

"Masterful. . . . Destined to become a classic."

-Jay Winik, The Boston Globe

"The definitive portrait of Lincoln as war leader."

-The Washington Post
