Reelecting Lincoln : The Battle for the 1864 Presidency

John Waugh combines corroborative detail and anecdotal material that not only make compelling reading but also put the pivotal presidential election of 1864 in its proper context in the history of American politics. Drawing from primary sources, reminiscences, memoirs, autobiographies, letters, newspaper, and periodicals, he clearly evokes the drama of a political reporter covering a national presidential campaign today.
