The Real Lincoln
A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War
Thomas J. DiLorenzo
The book presents a critical analysis of Abraham Lincoln's presidency, challenging the traditional view of Lincoln as a champion of civil liberties and suggesting that his actions during the Civil War were driven by an agenda to centralize power. It argues that the war was avoidable and that Lincoln's policies were detrimental to the founding principles of the United States.
