Lincoln was asked to memorialize the gruesome battle. Instead he gave the whole nation \"a new birth of freedom\" in the space of a mere 272 words. His entire life and previous training and his deep political experience went into this, his revolutionary masterpiece. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy examining both the address and Lincoln in their historical moment and cultural frame, Wills breathes new life into words we thought we knew, and reveals much about a president so mythologized but often misunderstood. Wills shows how Lincoln came to change the world and to effect an intellectual revolution, how his words had to and did complete the work of the guns, and how Lincoln wove a spell that has not yet been broken.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarry Wills is the author of 21 books, including the bestseller \u003ci\u003eLincoln at Gettysburg \u003c\/i\u003e(winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award), \u003ci\u003eJohn Wayne's America, Certain Trumpets, Under God, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNecessary Evil.\u003c\/i\u003e A frequent contributor to many national publications, including the\u003ci\u003e New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books, \u003c\/i\u003e he is also an adjunct professor of history at Northwestern University and lives in Evanston, Illinois.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9.18 x 6.12 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pulitzer Prize (1993)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52752480108877,"sku":"9780743299633","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/RnhOVDFJb3RtTjlJdG1GSi9xU2JyZz09.webp?v=1762923039","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/lincoln-at-gettysburg-the-words-that-remade-america-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
