"This is a book that's much more than a
courtroom drama. It's a beautifully nuanced
portrait of Lincoln in the turning-point year
of 1856 when the former Whig joined the
new Republican Party, gave what many
considered to be his greatest speech and
suddenly found himself a national figure."
-- Pat Reardon Chicago Tribune Dec. 16, 2007
