  “With penetrating insight, Lehrman unfolds the contrasts and similarities between these two leaders . . . I savored every page of this magnificent work.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln  Winner of the Abraham Lincoln Institute of Washington’s 2019 book prize Lewis E. Lehrman, a renowned historian and National Humanities Medal winner, gives new perspective on two of the greatest English-speaking statesmen—and their remarkable leadership in wars of national survival. Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill, as commanders in chief, led their nations to victory—Lincoln in the Civil War, Churchill in World War II. They became revered leaders—statesmen for all time. Yet these two world-famous war leaders have never been seriously compared at book length. Acclaimed historian Lewis Lehrman, in his pathbreaking comparison of both statesmen, finds that Lincoln and Churchill—with very different upbringings and contrasting personalities—led their war efforts, to some extent, in similar ways. As supreme war lords, they were guided not only by principles of honor, duty, and freedom, but also by the practical wisdom to know when, where, and how to apply these principles. Even their writings and speeches were swords in battle. Gifted literary stylists, both men relied on the written and spoken word to steel their citizens throughout desperate and prolonged wars. And both statesmen unexpectedly left office near the end of their wars—Lincoln by the bullet, Churchill by the ballot. They made mistakes, which Lehrman considers carefully. But the author emphasizes that, despite setbacks, they never gave up. “Deeply researched and elegantly written. . . . a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the past. By expertly conjoining two great leaders in a single volume, he has enhanced our understanding of both.” ―The Wall Street Journal  Includes illustrations and photographs

  The instinct of workmanship

  "The Instinct of Workmanship" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and social theorist. The book was published in 1914 and explores the relationship between humans and their work. 
  Veblen argues that the instinct of workmanship is a fundamental human trait that drives individuals to create and produce. This instinct is rooted in our desire to improve our own lives and the lives of those around us. However, Veblen also contends that this instinct is often hindered by the influence of social and economic institutions, such as the profit motive, the division of labor, and the competitive nature of capitalist markets. 
  Veblen explores the implications of these hindrances for individual well-being, social progress, and economic development. He argues that the current economic system is inefficient and wasteful, and that it fails to promote the full expression of the instinct of workmanship. He proposes alternative economic and social structures that could better facilitate the development and expression of this instinct, such as a society based on collective ownership and control of production. 
  Overall, "The Instinct of Workmanship" is an important contribution to the fields of economics and sociology, and it remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature and purpose of work, the role of institutions in shaping human behavior, and the possibilities for creating a more just and equitable society.
