The dust jacket reads: Great Captain is the story of Abraham Lincoln all through his administration from the beginning of the Civil War down to the tragic moment of his assassination. The book is a Lincoln Trilogy. Book One, "Forever Free", shows the first years in the White House up to the beginning of the Emancipation Proclamation. Book Two, "With Malice Toward None," opens with the year 1863 and closes with the return of Abraham Lincoln to Washington from Virginia after the fall of Richmond. Book Three, "The Last Full Measure," brings the chronicle of Lincoln down to the moment of his death.There is Lincoln-great statesman, greater human being; his most tragic moments lightened by his irrepressible humor; there is Mary Lincoln, excitable and high-strung, but very lovable; there are the children-especially Tad. One of the most thrilling characters is the Confederate spy, "Lady" Ford, social secretary to the President's wife. And the men are strongly contrasted, from the dashing General McClellan to Charles Sumner, the radical, beloved of Lincoln; from Secretary Stanton to John Wilkes Booth, debonair and mad.
