Bøker av William C. Harris

Are we using the best system of values to examine the nation's political problems? Must we forsake idealism for realism? These are two questions that Kenneth Thompson systematically discusses in his penetrating examination of the role that values play in America's political relations with the other nations of the world.

Lincoln Prize winner Harris turns to the last months of Lincoln's life in an attempt to penetrate this central figure of the Civil War, and arguably America's greatest president. Lincoln's ability to master the daunting affairs of state during the final nine months of his life proved critical to his apotheosis as savior and saint of the nation.
