Sweeping across a divided land, FREEDOM, weaves the unforgettable saga of men and women caught up in the maelstrom of war-the generals and the spies, the politicians and the pampleteers, the lovers and the users and above all, Abraham Lincoln, the president and the man. From the backrooms of the capitol to the battlefields of the ravaged South, FREEDOM, seethes with politics and passion, gossip, and anecdote, intrigue, and ambition as it brings to vivid life one of the most tumultuous periods of our history.
