On this week’s “Leaders and Legends” podcast, we discuss “The Lincoln Miracle: Inside the Republican Convention that Changed History” Edward Achorn’s superb account of the 1860 Chicago convention. Lincoln’s victory remains one of the greatest upsets in American political history and this book tells the improbable story.
