Egerton, author of Death or Liberty, brings his skills as both historian and political journalist to this study of Lincoln’s route to the White House. A dark horse candidate who wasn’t his own party’s first choice, Lincoln won the 1860 election thanks to a combination of factors, primarily the Democratic Party’s split over slavery.
