520 |a Freehling shows how the prewar years forged Lincoln into the extraordinary leader who would guide the nation through its most bitter chapter. From his childhood and difficult family life through the setbacks and recoveries Lincoln experienced, we witness Lincoln's embodiment of the self-made man even as he sought and received critical help from others. In doing so Freehling unfolds new impressions of the American nineteenth century, the emergence of our national economy, the causes of the Civil War, and Lincoln's wartime presidency. -- adapted from jacket
