"Abraham Lincoln's official secretaries, John Hay and John Nicolay, enjoyed more access, witnessed more history, and knew Lincoln better than anyone outside of the president's immediate family. They were the gatekeepers of his legacy. In this timely look into Lincoln's White House, and the aftermath of his death, noted historian and political adviser Joshua Zeitz presents a fresh perspective on the sixteenth U.S. president-as seen through the eyes of his two closest aids and confidants." -from the publisher.
