Summary

""Lincoln's First Crisis" covers four of the most consequential months in American history: December 1860 through April 1861. In this thoughtful, careful reassessment, Johnson reconstructs the beginning of the Civil War, when Lincoln bested his rivals and established himself as commander in chief, doing so on his own political, moral, and military terms that helped lay the foundation for meaningful Union victory"--, Provided by publisher
