Sarna, prepared with the manuscript expertise of Benjamin Shapell, is a work of American religious, political, and Civil War history. It examines Abraham Lincoln through a less familiar lens: his encounters with Jewish citizens, soldiers, merchants, rabbis, office seekers, and personal acquaintances during a period when American Judaism was becoming more visible in public life. Rather than treating Jewish history as separate from national history, the book shows how questions of minority rights, military service, patronage, prejudice, and citizenship reached the White House. Sarna draws on letters, petitions, official documents, and contemporary accounts to connect individual episodes to broader institutional change. The result is not a conventional Lincoln biography, but a focused study of how one president responded to a small but growing religious minority. Its purpose is to illuminate both Lincoln leadership and the early formation of American Jewish civic belonging.
