EXCEPTIONAL SIGNED Limited Edition of the much praised bestselling volume of GORE VIDAL's historical fiction that brings to life Abraham LINCOLN.
The novel complements the author's famous Burr (1984), where each protagonist is presented as "A Man of the People" yet very human in a dynamic study of how their public and private personae affect national politics.
Gore Vidal (1925 – 2012) was a bestselling American writer, playwrite, and public intellectual known for his wit, critical observations, and polished style.
