At 95 pages this is a very clear and concise record of how Lincoln was elected president. Primarily the book is focused on the factors which secured Lincoln the presidency, namely that Lincoln's promise not to interfere with slavery secured his nomination in 1860, while his position of the complete eradication of slavery from the union, coupled with military success secured his win in 1864.
