Reviews
The Philadelphia InquirerTrue to its historical antecedents and politically triumphant...A brilliantly creative reading of a critically important, indeed, culturally transforming, political document., Chicago TribuneDazzling...Wills is at his best, and his best may be the best that has ever been written about the Gettysburg Address as literature. Boldly revisionist and intoxicatingly original., William McFeelyThe New York TimesGarry Wills has given our nation's greatest gathering of words...new urgency...demonstrating that Lincoln's words still have power., Studs TerkelGarry Wills' glowing reconstruction of Lincoln's words and the circumstances gives us a real understanding of what we rote-memorized as school children. This is what history is all about.
