This review is from: The Illustrated Gettysburg Address (Hardcover)

The the horrors of war, and especially the Battle of Gettysburg are sobering through the illustrations and photos of that time in our history.

One will come away appreciating Lincoln's eloquence and oratory skills, affirmed by reading the Gettysburg Address

and Emancipation Proclamation. Although very biased in favor of the North, I still found this book informative and

interesting.

This review is from: The Illustrated Gettysburg Address (Hardcover)

Lincoln at Gettysburg in the midst of the Great Civil War dividing the nation, and causing the loss of so many American lives redefines the goal of that nation, and promises it a new birth of freedom. In it he sets forth the ideal that will bind the nations wounds, and bring it together again in pursuit of that freedom and justice that is its founding goal. Lincoln at Gettysburg redefines America to itself , for the duration of that war and for the generations to come. He tells a people the essence of what it is in solemn deep and heartfelt tones that will reverberate not only in the hearts and minds of his own countrymen but throughout the world as a whole .

Lincoln at Gettysburg is the American soul in liberty being told to mankind who may be inspired too to at last come to the day when government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from this earth.
