Title: One War at a Time
First published: 1999
Description: "One War at a Time - Lincoln's axiom for Union diplomacy - refutes the opinion of most historians and biographers that Lincoln played only a minor role in U.S. foreign relations. Rather, the book shows that Lincoln skillfully conducted a dangerous diplomatic balancing act, avoiding war with England and France while using the threat of war to prevent European recognition of Confederate independence."--BOOK JACKET.
