Historian Richard Striner is the author of Father Abraham: Lincoln’s Relentless Struggle to End Slavery (Oxford), Lincoln’s Way: How Six Great Presidents Created American Power (R&L) and many other works on American history. He resides in Pasadena, Maryland.
Richard Striner has given us a keen, fresh look at Lincoln’s
challenging youth, his unlikely rise to the presidency, and his
providential leadership in America’s darkest hour. Summoned to
Glory is an original, engaging, insightful view of the great man as
a cagey politician and an audacious military and political
strategist, enhanced by an enjoyable style and a depth of context
often missing from Lincoln biographies.

House in Wartime, co-winner of the 2017 Lincoln Prize*
