Lincoln (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781596877221)

The Civil War divided a nation and turned brother against brother. Lasting four long years, it resulted in the deaths of more than 600,000 soldiers.

Lincoln chronicles the extraordinary life of the man who held the nation together during the most perilous years of its history-and who, like millions of his countrymen, eventually gave his life so that a "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

IBOOKS For Young Readers presents a six-volume series devoted to this war, a war fought for liberation as well as reunification. With historic photographs and engaging text, "Civil War Chronicles recreates key battles and paints living portraits of the heroes who made the war of the states unforgettable."
