One of Abraham Lincoln's closest confidants, William Henry Seward played a crucial role in shaping the fate of the Union during the Civil war and beyond. This detailed account explores the many sides of the man, best known for the purchase of Alaska, a transaction labelled "Seward's folly" in its time. From his early years as governor of New York to his diplomatic successes on behalf of the Union overseas, Seward led a political life unique in American history. The book is a portrait of a formative period in the history of the United States and of the man who helped guide the nation through it.
