"[A] briskly readable inspection of current concerns in the field [ranging] broadly from standard views of familiar topics to innovative explorations." -- John Y. Simon, American Historical Review "This group of distinguished scholars, brought together by James McPherson, demonstrates the utility of looking at old problems anew... We Cannot Escape History is a valuable book for students of American politics and the Civil War." -- Wallace T. Hettle, Georgia Historical Quarterly "[These essays] open many new perspectives on Lincoln's thoughts about slavery, nationalism, democracy, equality, war, and peace... [A] fine set of essays." -- Robert J. Havlik, H-Net Book Reviews "Uniformly excellent ... this collection's variety should sate readers with an unslakable thirst for Lincoln and tempt former tipplers at the always flowing Lincolniana biblio-tap." -- Booklist
