"Crisis of the House Divided" is the standard historiography of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Harry V. Jaffa provides the definitive analysis of the political principles that guided Lincoln from his reentry into politics in 1854 through his Senate campaign against Douglas in 1858. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the original publication, Jaffa has provided a new introduction.
Harry V. Jaffa is the Henry Salvatori Research Professor of Political Philosophy Emeritus at Claremont McKenna College. He is the author or coauthor of many books, including Shakespeare's Politics, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
