One war at a time : the international dimensions of the American Civil War
Refutes the opinion of most historians and biographers that Lincoln played only a minor role in US foreign relations. Rather, the book shows that Lincoln skilfully conducted a dangerous diplomatic balancing act, avoiding war with England and France while using the threat of war to prevent European recognition of Confederate independence.
