"An important book about one of the great episodes in the history of the sectional controversy. It breaks new ground and opens a new view of Lincoln's significance as a political thinker." - T. Harry Williams, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences "A searching and provocative analysis of the issues confronted and the ideas expounded in the great debates.... A book which displays such learning and insight that it cannot fail to excite the admiration even of scholars who disagree with its major arguments and conclusions." - D. E. Fehrenbacher, American Historical Review "Crisis of the House Divided has shaped the thought of a generation of Abraham Lincoln and Civil War scholars." - Mark E. Needly Jr., Civil War History"
