Brian R. Dirck is Assistant Professor of History and Political Science at Anderson University and is the author of two other books about Lincoln.
Lincoln Emancipated points the way toward a new understanding of
Lincoln that absorbs the most valid points of each side and rejects
their emotionally or politically motivated exaggerations.
*Gerald Prokopowicz, East Carolina University*
This collection is unique in its sustained discussion of Lincoln's
racial views and emancipation policy.
*Thomas Schwartz, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and
Museum*
A thoughtful study that seeks to delve behind the propaganda and
into the heart of a noble albeit imperfect (and therefore utterly
human) President.
*The Midwest Book Review*
