Few struggles in our nation’s history have matched the significance of the Civil War, and few leaders have determined those struggles’ outcomes as much as President Abraham Lincoln did. President Lincoln was determined to not only end the Civil War with a victory for the federal government but also secure lasting peace between warring factions of Americans. In his new book, Lincoln and the Fight for Peace (Simon & Schuster, 2022), CNN’s John Avlon offers a timely and insightful look at our nation’s gravest conflict.
AEI President Robert Doar will join Mr. Avlon for a conversation about his book and discuss how President Lincoln’s enduring vision of peace can once again heal our nation in this time of political turmoil.
