"Among American intellectuals of his generation only Sumner was responsible to a constituency of voters and had to battle for ideals in the Congress of the United States. In this skillful and subtle account of Sumner's career during the Civil War and Reconstruction period. David Donald brilliantly demonstrates how such a man found it possible to operate within the American political system." - Alfred A. Knopf Pub.
