About this ebook
New York Times bestselling novelist Jeff Shaara brings to vivid life the man, public and private, who guided the U.S.A. through its most troubled, conflicted time: Abraham Lincoln.
"It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." - The Gettysburg Address, 1863
New York Times bestselling novelist Jeff Shaara, renowned for his body of work exploring the conflicts and personalities surrounding key moments in American history, turns his attention to one of the most consequential figures during one of the most critical points in history: Abraham Lincoln. As only the finest of historical novelists can do, Shaara brings to life the travails and conflicts, victories and tragic defeats, the legends and the history, both personal and private of Lincoln during the country's most pivotal years.
Beginning with his election as President in 1860, through his time in the Oval Office, Shaara reveals the complexities behind the man who refused to let the deep divisions and conflicting emotions permanently sunder the country itself, at great personal cost.
The Unfinished Work is the finest work yet by one of the most popular, most acclaimed historical novelist of our time, a capstone to a life's work.
