Selected as a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, this landmark work gives us a definitive account of Lincoln's lifelong engagement with the nation's critical issue: American slavery. A master historian, Eric Foner draws Lincoln and the broader history of the period into perfect balance. We see Lincoln, a pragmatic politician grounded in principle, deftly navigating the dynamic politics of antislavery, secession, and civil war. Lincoln's greatness emerges from his capacity for moral and political growth.

Críticas

Do we need another book on Lincoln? Yes, we do if the book is by so richly informed a commentator as Eric Foner. --David S. Reynolds"

Moving and rewarding. . . . A master historian at work. --David W. Blight"

No one else has written about [Lincoln's] trajectory of change with such balance, fairness, depth of analysis, and lucid precision of language. --James M. McPherson"

Starred Review. Original and compelling .In the vast library on Lincoln, Foner s book stands out as the most sensible and sensitive reading of Lincoln s lifetime involvement with slavery and the most insightful assessment of Lincoln s and indeed America s imperative to move toward freedom lest it be lost. An essential work for all Americans. "

While many thousands of books deal with Lincoln and slavery, Eric Foner has written the definitive account of this crucial subject, illuminating in a highly original and profound way the interactions of race, slavery, public opinion, politics, and Lincoln's own character that led to the wholly improbable uncompensated emancipation of some four million slaves. Even seasoned historians will acquire fresh and new perspectives from reading The Fiery Trial. --David Brion Davis, author of Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New World"

Do we need yet another book on Lincoln?... Well, yes, we do if the book is by so richly informed a commentator as Eric Foner. Foner tackles what would seem to be an obvious topic, Lincoln and slavery, and manages to cast new light on it.... Because of his broad-ranging knowledge of the 19th century, Foner is able to provide the most thorough and judicious account of Lincoln's attitudes toward slavery that we have.--David S. Reynolds

Contraportada

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE FIERY TRIAL: "While many thousands of books deal with Lincoln and slavery, Eric Foner has written the definitive account of this crucial subject, illuminating in a highly original and profound way the interactions of race, slavery, public opinion, politics, and Lincoln's own character that led to the wholly improbable uncompensated emancipation of some four million slaves. Even seasoned historians will acquire fresh and new perspectives from reading The Fiery Trial." --David Brion Davis, Sterling Professor of History Emeritus, Yale University, author of Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New World "Definitive and breathtaking: with dazzling clarity and authority, demonstrating a total command of his sources and a sense of moral justice that transcends history, Foner has done nothing less than provide the most persuasive book ever written on Lincoln's vital place in the fight for freedom in America. This volume stands alone in the field. It is not only the best account ever written on the subject; henceforth, it should be regarded as the only account." --Harold Holzer, author of Lincoln President-Elect "Eric Foner has done it again. The Fiery Trial explores the pivotal subject of Lincoln and slavery free from the mists of hagiography and the muck of denigration. With his usual stylish mastery, Foner advances enlightened debate over our greatest president, the origins and unfolding of the Civil War, and the abolition of southern slavery. His book marks an auspicious intellectual beginning to the sesquicentennial of the American Iliad." --Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln

A Must Read

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 28 de enero de 2024

Compra verificada

Very well-researched and -referenced study of Lincoln’s views of slavery from his early adult years to the time of his assassination.

It includes fascinating details about American history, politics, economic trends, population changes, market transformations, technological developments, antebellum Constitutional law, and social movements that prevailed during Lincoln’s life and places him squarely within the context of his times.

The genius and success of the work is that—to paraphrase the words of the book’s introduction—Foner does not “read history backwards” but uses contemporaneous accounts of all kinds (letters, speeches, personal stories and observations about Lincoln, newspaper articles, editorials, etc.) to chronologically trace Lincoln’s sentiments about slavery from beginning to end. There are also interesting biographical vignettes of many of Lincoln’s contemporaries which are indispensable to understanding the legal and political landscape of that era.

Lincoln was a product of his times as much as he was a creative force, and the author treats both with insight, objectivity, and scholarly skill.

This is a highly readable and highly recommended book.

Fascinating History; Truly Instructive

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 29 de enero de 2012

This is a great book. I decided to read it because I felt I should know more about Lincoln's attitude towards slavery, but it turned out to need no "should" justification. It was difficult to put down. Some of the great things about the book: (i) the picture of slavery itself -- particularly at the start, we get a reminder glimpse of the deep horror of the reality of the institution, and throughout the book we get an understanding of the depth and breadth of its impact on national politics through most of the 19th century; (ii) an understanding of the many different positions on slavery and race in general in that era -- the simple pro and anti that we normally see now looking back 150 years doesn't even begin to describe it; (iii) the radicalness of abolition at the time it occurred and, even more so, the 14th Amendment; sad to say but, had the South not gone all in regarding right-to-have slavery, badly misplaying the hand, slavery in the South might have continued for many more decades, and the great foundation for advancement laid by the 14th Amendment might not have been laid (though, to be sure, the Andrew Johnson presidency largely buried it for nearly a century); (iv) a glimpse at many other fascinating and important figures of the time --- Seward, Sumner, Chase, Clay, and, above all, Frederick Douglass; (v) so much about Lincoln, including his moderate and deliberate leadership style (attacked on both sides at the time--can't help but see parallels with President Obama) and how his experiences and interactions affected his views over time; (vi) the decisive role blacks played in the outcome of the Civil War and the critical motivation that potential provided for advancing emancipation.

All in all, this was a great book; I'm glad it won the Pulitzer. I couldn't help but think of it in comparison to the much talked about Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln . In that comparison, it's a Picasso next to a child's drawing, Peyton Manning next to Ryan Leaf, or Thinking, Fast and Slow next to Outliers: The Story of Success (sorry Malcom, actually Outliers is pretty good, it just pales next to Kahnman's great book). This is everything a history book for the public should be. If I had one negative comment, it would be that the perspective of black folks on these roiling times is largely absent, as absent as it was from Lincoln's experience. That makes sense since the book is about Lincoln, but it is the hole the book leaves that calls for another book. I myself have added "Frederick Douglas biography" to my future reading list.
