Cover of The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln

The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln

Based primarily on long-neglected manuscript and newspaper sources—and especially on reminiscences of people who knew him—this psychobiography casts new light on Lincoln. Burlingame uses a blend of Freudian and Jungian theory to interpret the psyche of the 16th president.
