$NPR Host Steve Inskeep, \u201cDiffer We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America\u201d$

Co-host of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Steve Inskeep presents a nuanced exploration of Abraham Lincoln’s political acumen, illuminating a great politician’s strategy in a country divided. In “Differ We Must,” Inskeep illuminates Lincoln’s life through sixteen encounters with a person who differed or actively opposed Lincoln. While Lincoln didn’t always change his critics’ beliefs—many went to war against him—he did learn how to make his beliefs actionable. With enlightening commentary, Inskeep expands our understanding of a politician who held strong to his moral compass while navigating between corrosive political factions.
