by Joseph R. Fornieri
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 1596980842
Hardcover - 800 pages (January 2009)
Abraham Lincoln is often portrayed as “Honest Abe”— a homespun folk hero who became president despite modest beginnings. But beneath the humble exterior is one of the deepest thinkers and most important presidents in American history. And in honor of Lincoln’s bicentennial birthday, Dr. Joseph Fornieri, one of the foremost experts on Lincoln’s political thought, is releasing an updated edition of The Language of Liberty.
This definitive one-volume collection of Lincoln’s speeches and writings features a new preface and an additional speech. Unlike other extensively edited collections, this compilation provides a comprehensive selection of Lincoln’s most important speeches and writings in their entirety, including the famous Cooper Union speech, both inaugural addresses, and the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Each chapter also includes major historical, political, and biographical events in Lincoln’s life and the life of the nation for greater context.
The Language of Liberty is essential for anyone who wants to know more about America’s rich history through the writings and speeches of one of her greatest leaders: Abraham Lincoln.
