Wait Until It Comes to Your LibraryBy Peter HillmanWe have a pre-eminent Lincoln historian; a fabled editor; Harvard Press and the remarkable (and conflicted) freeing of 4;000;000 slaves. The publication obviously could not be more timely. Given these pedigrees; I had every reason to expect another magisterial triumph; particularly at $24.95 (if Prime).What I suggest we have; however; is an exceedingly slender 172 pages (small in every respect and wide margins to boot). An afternoons interesting reading.The writing is; as always with Holzer; lively and crisp and the research and analysis insightful. Theres just not enough of it (for me at least); and no new earth is plowed.The illustrations (part of the "iconography" Holzer ably brings to all he does) are interesting but not compelling enough to justify the purchase price.Ironically; I searched in vain for the actual texts of the three versions of the Proclamation. Only two illustrations contain the text (have your magnifying glass at hand).To be sure; the historians are on the money in the positive jacket blurbs. But heres the thing: were accustomed to so much more from Mr. Holzer; the Proclamation; on its 150th Birthday and at any time; deserves more; and customers must choose how to spend $25.00.At the risk of committing Holzer heresy; its recommended one take a pass. Perhaps podcasts of the lectures are available (listen also to the recent NPR interview). Unless one is a serious Lincoln book collector; this fine read can await.Personally; for a fuller treatment; Id respectfully recommend Professor Guelzos 2006 "Emancipation Proclamation;" currently $10 in paperback and $12 in Kindle. For a recent example of magnificent Holzer work; please consider his 2009 "Lincoln President-Elect and the Great Secession Winter 1860-1861" (similarly priced to Guelzos work).btw; too bad Mr. Holzer and didnt connect...this could have made a terrific Kindle Single... even at $3.99 it could have found an appropriately vast and eager audience!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
