The Brian Pohanka Chair of Civil War History at Dickinson College and director of the House Divided Project, Matthew Pinsker is also the author of Lincoln’s Sanctuary: Abraham Lincoln and the Soldiers’ Home. His new work is Boss Lincoln: The Partisan Life of Abraham Lincoln, which Harold Holzer says is like “Team of Rivals on steroids…Mr. Pinsker’s deep research, interpretive daring and fine writing advance the case with panache.”

Pinsker discussed Boss Lincoln with author/attorney Talmage Boston last week. Listen to the podcast here.
