Ira B. Cardiff sets out to correct numerous flaws in the
biographical narrative of President Abraham Lincoln, a towering
figure whom the author admires but considers unduly deified by
certain entities. At the outset, Cardiff is clear this work is not
a revelatory debunking of the deeds or traits of Abe Lincoln.
Rather, it is an attempt to dispel certain myths that appeared
after the death of the 16th President, which became ingrained to
the point of acceptance even in historical circles. The author has
great respect for Lincoln's legacy, but finds issue with
inaccuracies deeming Lincoln to be near-faultless. Cardiff finds
issue with the idea that Lincoln was a committed Christian, when
several associates of Lincoln attest to him having little time for
matters of God and religion. He finds it insulting that Lincoln's
successes should be attributed to divine favor, when it was shrewd
political savvy and keen knowledge of law that enabled his
maneuvers before, during and after the U.S. Civil War.
