Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. A profound meditation on the lives of two of the United States' most consequential leaders - George Washington and Abraham Lincoln - this book analyzes the men who served as the bookends of the definitive era in American history. The author argues that they are linked by cause and consequence, as Washington's victories in the American Revolution made possible Lincoln's preservation of the Union during the Civil War. These men came from vastly different worlds, and yet the author posits that their shared characteristics of honesty, purity, dignity, sanity, restraint, self control, ability, and courage led them both to do what was right for their country as they saw it. The book also explores the differing roles of aristocracy and democracy in Washington's and Lincoln's times, raising questions about the evolution of leadership, the vulnerabilities of power, and the struggle for human liberty that remains as relevant today as it was in the past.
