"Crisis of the House Divided" is the standard historiography of
the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Harry Jaffa provides the definitive
analysis of the political principles that guided Lincoln from his
reentry into politics in 1854 through his Senate campaign against
Douglas in 1858. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the original
publication, Jaffa has provided a new introduction.
""Crisis of the House Divided" has shaped the thought of a
generation of Abraham Lincoln and Civil War scholars."--Mark E.
Needly, Jr., "Civil War History"
"An important book about one of the great episodes in the
history of the sectional controversy. It breaks new ground and
opens a new view of Lincoln's significance as a political
thinker."--T. Harry Williams, "Annals of the American Academy of
Political and Social Sciences"
"A searching and provocative analysis of the issues confronted
and the ideas expounded in the great debates. . . . A book which
displays such learning and insight that it cannot fail to excite
the admiration even of scholars who disagree with its major
arguments and conclusions."--D. E. Fehrenbacher, "American
Historical Review"
