Know about the book -

Emancipating Lincoln is written by Harold Holzer and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674068289 (ISBN 10) and 9780674068285 (ISBN 13).

The Emancipation Proclamation is responsible both for Lincoln’s being hailed as the Great Emancipator and for his being pilloried by those who consider his once-radical effort at emancipation insufficient. Holzer examines the impact of Lincoln’s announcement at the moment of its creation, and then as its meaning has changed over time.
