 | | Yale professor David Bromwich has an illuminating essay in the current issue of the New York Review of Books evaluating Abraham Lincoln's legacy as a war president--particularly, the ways in which, during a time of national trauma, Lincoln magaged difficult relationships with his cabinet members, his generals, and even with God. |
