This definitive, single-volume edition of the Pulitzer Prize–winning biography delivers “a Lincoln whom no other man . . . could have given us” (New York Herald Tribune Book Review).
Celebrated for his vivid depictions of the nineteenth-century American Midwest, Carl Sandburg brings unique insight to the life of Abraham Lincoln in this distinguished biography. He captures both the man who grew up on the Indiana prairie and the president who held the country together through the turbulence and tragedy of the Civil War.
Based on a lifetime of research, Sandburg’s biographywas originally published as a monumental, six-volume study. The author later distilled the work down to this single-volume edition that is considered by many to be his greatest work of nonfiction.

theme: Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865

This book contains Carl Sandburg's story of the Civil War years in the United States of America, taken mainly from the four volumes of Abraham Lincoln: The War Years. Mr. Sandburg rewrote some sections to form this single volume, covering campaigns and generals, the common soldier in struggle, laughter and daring, politics behind battle lines, clashes of loyalists and malcontents, dark hours on the home front, and unbreakable faiths in high and low places

Legendary American poet Carl Sandburg adapted his acclaimed four-volume biography into a one-volume account of the Civil War. Our nation had its unity hammered out in storm. Sandburg's story of those years takes in campaigns and generals, common soldiers in their daily struggles, politics behind battle lines and the unbreakable faith in high and low places. It is a tragic and inspiring narrative, told by one of the great figures of American literature.
