Book TV: Gabor Boritt "The Lincoln Enigma"

Gabor Boritt, contributor and editor of a collection of essays entitled "The Lincoln Enigma: The Changing Faces of an American Icon," addresses some of the areas of Abraham Lincoln's life that are under modern scrutiny. Mr. Boritt asserts that Mr. Lincoln's attitudes and decisions should be judged in the context of the 1800s. In "The Lincoln Enigma," nine Lincoln scholars, including Mr. Boritt, explore Abraham Lincoln's marriage, his plan to send blacks back to Africa and other aspects of his legacy.
