"Daniel Mark Epstein's LINCOLN'S MEN is no book of dry facts and figures. Instead, it is an intimate portrait of Lincoln, so well-drawn that he seems to come alive on the page." -- Charleston Post & Courier

"Epstein brings something of an outsider's perspective to the hothouse world of Lincoln scholarship." -- New York Times Book Review

Working at close quarters with Lincoln at the White House was an education in itself, as Daniel Mark Epstein observes" -- Wall Street Journal

"Sheds light on the remarkable young men who served at Lincoln's side." -- Washington Times

"Lincoln, like most presidents, worked long hours. Really, really long hours. So it makes sense the folks who knew him best--and who offer possibly the freshest perspective on his well-documented life--were the guys he worked with every day of his presidency." -- Chicago Tribune

"This is not your typical work of history. Epstein, a poet, employs a dreamy, novelistic tone in describing these young men and their tormented boss." -- USA Today

"A fresh view." -- Albuquerque Journal

"Captures the lives of Lincoln's secretaries" -- BookPage

"An insider's view of the [Lincoln] presidency...Nicolay and Hay wrote the diaries Lincoln never did, witnessing key moments from enviable vantage points." -- Courier-Journal

Sobre o Livro

No coração do livro estão os jovens secretários que trabalharam ao lado de Lincoln na Casa Branca, com foco em William H. Nicolay e John G. Nicolay e John G. Hay.

Epstein recorre a relatos de bastidores e memórias para traçar o cotidiano do gabinete presidencial e os papéis administrativos e pessoais desses assistentes.

O tom combina traços poéticos e uma perspectiva narrativa que aproxima o leitor das rotinas, decisões e momentos-chave da presidência.
