Widely considered in his own time as a genial but provincial lightweight who was out of place in the presidency, Abraham Lincoln astonished his allies and confounded his adversaries by producing a series of speeches and public letters so provocative that they helped revolutionize public opinion on such critical issues as civil liberties, the use of black soldiers, and the emancipation of slaves. This is a brilliant and unprecedented examination of how Lincoln used the power of words to not only build his political career but to keep the country united during the Civil War.

Lincoln's Sword : The Presidency and the Power of Words by (1865)
ISBN: 9781400040391 bzw. 1400040396, vermutlich in Englisch, Random House, Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, gebraucht.
Abraham Lincoln now occupies an unparalleled place in American history, but when he was first elected president, a skeptical writer asked, "Who will write this ignorant man's state papers?" Literary ability was, indeed, the last thing the public expected from the folksy, self-educated "rail-splitter," but the forceful qualities of Lincoln's writing eventually surprised his supporters and confounded his many critics. Since his assassination in 1865, no American's words have become more familiar or more admired, and their enduring power has established him as one of our greatest writers. Now, in a groundbreaking study, the distinguished Lincoln scholar Douglas L. Wilson demonstrates that exploring Lincoln's presidential writing provides a window onto his presidency and a key to his accomplishments. "Lincoln's Sword" tells the story of how Lincoln developed his writing skills, how they served him for a time as a hidden presidential asset, how it gradually became clear that he possessed a formidable literary talent, and it reveals how writing came to play an increasingly important role in his presidency. "By the time he came to write the Gettysburg Address," Wilson says, "Lincoln was attempting to help put the horrific carnage of the Civil War in a positive light, and at the same time to do it in a way that would have constructive implications for the future. By the time he came to write the Second Inaugural Address, fifteen months later, he was quite consciously in the business of interpreting the war and its deeper meaning, not just for his contemporaries but for what he elsewhere called the 'vast future.' " Illustrated with reproductions of Lincoln's original manuscripts, "Lincoln's Sword" affords an unprecedented look at a distinctively American writer.
