            In Out of Darkness William Hanchett, a leading Lincoln Scholar,
            follows Abraham Lincoln from his birth and chronicles his thirst for education,
            his achievements as a lawyer and congressman, his presidency, and his
            assassination.
          Hanchett gives readers a deeper understanding of how Lincoln's self-directed
            study and clear thinking offset his lack of a formal education, enabling
            him to become a respected and successful attorney. He also shows how Lincoln's
            uncanny leadership helped him to end slavery and still keep the divided
            North sufficiently united to win the Civil War. By focusing on a variety
            of roles and settings, Hanchett invites readers to get to know Lincoln
            as a president, as well as a lover, husband, father, and friend.
          "Excellent! Hanchett is a fine writer, and his biography of Lincoln
            is succinct and thought-provoking."
            -- Frank J. Williams, president, Abraham Lincoln Association
