But what was it about Lincoln's background and upbringing that made him such an effective leader? And how did his legal training and experience shape his approach to the presidency?

In his book, Lincoln: The Law and Presidential Leadership, historian and legal scholar Michael Burlingame delves into these questions and offers a fresh perspective on one of the most important figures in American history.

Burlingame argues that Lincoln's legal training and experience played a pivotal role in shaping his leadership style. As a lawyer, Lincoln learned the importance of careful analysis, logical reasoning, and persuasive communication. These skills served him well as president, as he navigated the complex legal and political challenges of the Civil War.

Burlingame also highlights Lincoln's deep commitment to the rule of law. Lincoln believed that the Constitution was the supreme law of the land and that it should be upheld at all costs. This commitment led him to make difficult decisions, such as issuing the Emancipation Proclamation and suspending habeas corpus during the war.

But Lincoln was also a pragmatist. He recognized that sometimes the law had to be bent or even broken in Free Download to achieve the greater good. Burlingame argues that Lincoln's ability to balance his commitment to the rule of law with his pragmatic instincts was one of his greatest strengths as a leader.

Lincoln: The Law and Presidential Leadership is a fascinating and insightful look at one of the most important figures in American history. Burlingame's scholarship is impeccable and his writing is clear and engaging. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Lincoln, the presidency, or American history.
