Scholar Harold Holzer and former New York Governor Mario Cuomo explore the contemporary relevance of Abraham Lincoln’s message for uniting America. With the nation divided on the war in Iraq and pressing domestic issues, Holzer and Cuomo pose the question: What would Lincoln have done to bring this disparate country together? Holzer, winner of a 2005 Lincoln Prize, examines the turbulent trials of leadership Lincoln underwent in the months between his election and inauguration in his forthcoming book, Lincoln President-Elect: Abraham Lincoln and the Great Secession Winter 1860-1861. Cuomo’s book is Why Lincoln Matters, Today More Than Ever.
