Lincoln's Virtues: An Ethical Biography

William Lee Millerâ€™s ethical biography is a fresh, engaging telling of the story of Lincolnâ€™s rise to power. Through careful scrutiny of Lincolnâ€™s actions, speeches, and writings, and of accounts from those who knew him, Miller gives us insight into the moral development of a great politician â€” one who made the choice to go into politics, and ultimately realized that vocationâ€™s fullest moral possibilities.

As Lincolnâ€™s Virtues makes refreshingly clear, Lincoln was not born with his face on Mount Rushmore; he was an actual human being making choices â€” moral choices â€” in a real world. In an account animated by wit and humor, Miller follows this unschooled frontier politicianâ€™s rise, showing that the higher he went and the greater his power, the worthier his conduct would become. He would become that rare bird, a great man who was also a good man. Uniquely revealing of its subjectâ€™s heart and mind, it represents a major contribution to our understanding and of Lincoln, and to the perennial American discussion of the relationship between politics and morality.
