Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, My
Grandfather's Son is the story of one of America's most remarkable
and controversial leaders, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas,
told in his own words. Thomas speaks out, revealing the pieces of
his life he holds dear, detailing the suffering and injustices he
has overcome, including the acrimonious and polarizing Senate
hearing involving a former aide, Anita Hill, and the depression and
despair it created in his own life and the lives of those closest
to him. In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a quintessential
American tale of hardship and grit, Clarence Thomas recounts his
astonishing journey for the first time.

Since Abraham Lincoln's death, generations of Americans have
studied his life, presidency, and leadership, often remaking him
into a figure suited to the needs and interests of their own time.
This illuminating volume takes a different approach to his
political thought and practice. Here, a distinguished group of
contributors argue that Lincoln's relevance today is best expressed
by rendering an accurate portrait of him in his own era. They seek
to understand Lincoln as he understood himself and as he attempted
to make his ideas clear to his contemporaries. What emerges is a
portrait of a prudent leader who is driven to return the country to
its original principles in order to conserve it.
The contributors demonstrate that, far from advocating an
expansion of government beyond its constitutional limits, Lincoln
defended both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
In his introduction, Justice Clarence Thomas discusses how Lincoln
used the ideological and structural underpinnings of those founding
documents to defeat slavery and secure the liberties that the
Republic was established to protect. Other chapters reveal how
Lincoln upheld the principle of limited government even as he
employed unprecedented war powers.
Featuring contributions from leading scholars such as Michael
Burlingame, Allen C. Guelzo, Fred Kaplan, and Matthew Pinsker, this
innovative collection presents fresh perspectives on Lincoln both
as a political thinker and a practical politician. Taken together,
these essays decisively demonstrate that the most iconic American
president still has much to teach the modern-day student of
politics.
