The former president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Richard Carwardine is also the author of multiple books on Abraham Lincoln, including Lincoln’s Sense of Humor and Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power. His latest work is Righteous Strife: How Warring Religious Nationalists Forged Lincoln’s Union, which Jon Meacham says, “sheds new and important light on issues of perennial significance in America’s past — and present.”

Carwardine recently discussed Righteous Strife with author/attorney Talmage Boston. Listen to the podcast here.
