Whether it’s via their tone, topic, or tenor, certain works just say “America.” Here is one such title, suggested by Michael F. Bishop, a board member of the Abraham Lincoln Institute and former director of the National Churchill Leadership Center (NCLC) and executive director of the International Churchill Society:

• Lincoln in American Memory by Merrill D. Peterson. Renowned Lincoln scholar and author Harold Holzer calls this 1994 work “a highly original, exhaustively researched, expertly organized, and surpassingly entertaining book…[it is] a gripping look not only into history but into the making of history.”
