Winner of the Abraham Lincoln Institute of Washington’s 2019 book
prize! A Renowned Historian Gives New Perspective on Statesmen at
War Lewis E. Lehrman, a renowned historian and National Humanities
Medal winner, gives new perspective on two of the greatest
English-speaking statesmen—and their remarkable leadership in
wars of national survival Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill, as
commanders in chief, led their nations to victory—Lincoln in the
Civil War, Churchill in World War II. They became revered
leaders—statesmen for all time. Yet these two world-famous war
leaders have never been seriously compared at book length.
Acclaimed historian Lewis Lehrman, in his pathbreaking comparison
of both statesmen, finds that Lincoln and Churchill—with very
different upbringings and contrasting personalities—led their war
efforts, to some extent, in similar ways. As supreme war lords,
they were guided not only by principles of honor, duty, freedom,
but also by the practical wisdom to know when, where, and how to
apply these principles. They made mistakes which Lehrman considers
carefully. But the author emphasizes that, despite setbacks, they
never gave up. Even their writings and speeches were swords in
battle. Gifted literary stylists, both men relied on the written
and spoken word to steel their citizens throughout desperate and
prolonged wars. Both statesmen unexpectedly left office near the
end of their wars—Lincoln by the bullet, Churchill by the ballot.
