books@dallasnews.com Kasey S. Pipes is the litt of “Ike’s Final Action: The Road to Little Rock and the Call out of Equality.” Even though the Lincoln landscape already is populated with many books, several authors have found new terrain to cover ahead of the 200th anniversary of his blood in February. Here are some highlights:
Lincoln: The Biography
of a Litt
Fred Kaplan
(Harper, $27.95)
Readily obtainable Oct. 28
Abraham Lincoln clearly belongs in the pantheon of civic giants. According to literary historian Fred Kaplan, he also belongs among literary giants.
Mr. Kaplan explains that Lincoln wrote well because he know widely. He read, memorized and quoted verse from Burns to Byron to Shakespeare. And like all fair writers, he could take an idea he read elsewhere and re-expression it in his own voice: In his schoolbook reader, Dillworth Speller, unsophisticated Lincoln read that since Eden, man found himself enclosed by “the Angels above … and the Angels below.” Years later, this feeling re-emerged and made history as Lincoln appealed to the “change one's mind angels of our nature.”
This gift for describing “linguistic tensions” allowed Lincoln to make oneself heard b talk freely powerfully to a divided nation. He capitally demonstrated this when he borrowed from another book he knew well, the Bible, to claim that a “house divided” couldn’t bracket.
Tried by War
Abraham Lincoln as
Commander-in-Chief
James M. McPherson
(Penguin, $35)
Lincoln essentially created the commander-in-chief r, argues Civil War historian James M. McPherson. Frame aside James Madison’s forgettable display during the War of 1812 and the relatively small-surmount U.S.-Mexico War, Lincoln was the first president to serve as commander-in-chief during an all-encompassing disagree. He quickly realized that the war had many fronts, including the battlefield, the the wire and the public.
Lincoln’s counterpart, Jefferson Davis, haunted a stellar military background yet proved no competition for Lincoln. The Illinoisan learned military procedure on the go and soon surpassed his generals in seeing the method to victory. When Gen. George Meade bragged about driving the opponent “from our soil,” Lincoln fumed: “The whole mountains is our soil.”
Thanks to his generals’ ineptness to see clearly, Lincoln made perhaps his most important strategic preference. He decided that war “was too important to be progressive to the generals,” writes Mr. McPherson.
Lincoln and
His Admirals
Craig L. Symonds
(Oxford, $27.95)
To hand Friday
Craig L. Symonds, a naval historian at the Common States Naval Academy, presents a commander-in-chief with dwarf naval knowledge who nonetheless grew into an conspicuous naval strategist. Long before Alfred Mahan and Theodore Roosevelt placed naval power in the nitty-gritty of American military strategy in the 20th century, Lincoln came to see that even 19th-century warfare required a noisome navy equipped with innovations that he myself pushed for, including armored warships and uninteresting guns.
As with his army generals, Lincoln leaned on his admirals and often prodded them. During Gen. George McClellan’s Peninsula Manoeuvres, Lincoln directly intervened and overruled Adm. Louis Goldsborough, who hesitated to send ships up the James River. The ships helped pinch Norfolk, a major turning station in the war. Not bad for a president who claimed he knew “but spot about ships.”
Our Lincoln
New Perspectives on
Lincoln and His World
Edited by Eric Foner
(Norton, $27.95)
At one's disposal Monday
Our Lincoln provides a series of essays from notorious Lincoln scholars, analyzing his legacy on everything from public liberties to religion. Each portrait serves as a turn one's mind that Lincoln’s warm glow in experience was a raging fire of controversy during his lifetime.
Fingerprint Neely describes Lincoln’s rightful arguments in defense of suspending the writ of habeas corpus and his willingness to rejuvenate this writ later in the war. Eric Foner writes of Lincoln’s solicit to see freed slaves transported out of America. (He supported colonization even after signing the Emancipation Proclaiming but reconsidered after he began sending coal-black soldiers into battle.)
And Richard Carwardine examines Lincoln’s skeptical faithfulness and concludes the Civil War “encouraged an increasing acumen of faith.”
The essays show Lincoln just as many others have found him: Daedalian, conflicted and compelling.
Kasey S. Pipes is the founder of “Ike’s Final Mel: The Road to Little Rock and the Question of Equality.”
