Eric Foner's Lincoln Recommendations

Last night, Eric Foner, one of the nation's most important scholars of nineteenth century America, offered his suggestions for book on Lincoln on NPR. Take a listen...

His suggestions:

Lincoln by David Herbert Donald
Lincoln : A Life of Purpose and Power by Richard Carwardine
The Radical and the Republican by James Oakes

I would add Foner's own Our Lincoln: New Perspectives on Lincoln and His World.
