Summary:
'Vidal is a masterly American Historical Novelist... who found his truest subject... No biographer, and until now no novelist, has had the precision of imagination to show us a plausible and human Lincoln, of us and yet beyond us. Vidal, with this book, does just that, and more: he gives us the tragedy of American Political history, with its most authentic tragic hero at the center, which is to say, at our center.' - Harold Bloom
