    About this audiobook

    Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.

    Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, is an American icon. To many, he is a symbol of values, sacrifice and determination. Modern notions of nationalism, liberty, and constitution all owe their debt to Lincoln, as does the unity of the American states. And yet, in his own day, Lincoln was also reviled by many as a traitor, tarnished by his associations with the wrong kind of race and the wrong end of society.

    Charting his ascent from humble origins to the leader of the United during her hardest democratic and ethical conflict —the American Civil War— Lincoln: History in an Hour is a succinct guide to the life of a great and controversial modernizer.
