Blumenthal's latest project is a multi-volume life of Lincoln. Focusing on his subject’s political thinking, Blumenthal’s first volume covers the future leader’s childhood, his early reading, his work as a lawyer, developing thoughts on slavery, and the rivalry with Stephen Douglas that helped him become the Lincoln still admired and discussed today.
