An occasional series in which writers speak for themselves.
British-born biographer and academic Nigel Hamilton is the author of multiple well-respected books, including War and Peace: FDR’s Final Odyssey: D-Day to Yalta, 1943-1945, How to Do Biography: A Primer, and American Caesars: Lives of the Presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush. His latest work is Lincoln vs. Davis: The War of the Presidents, which Ted Widmer calls “essential for anyone who seeks to understand the rivalry at the heart of the war.”
Hamilton discussed Lincoln vs. Davis with author/attorney Talmage Boston last week. Listen to the podcast here.
