Lincoln's official secretaries, Hay and Nicolay enjoyed more access, witnessed more history, and knew Lincoln better than anyone outside of the president's immediate family. They were the gatekeepers of Lincoln's legacy. Drawing on letters, diaries, and memoirs, \u003ci\u003e Lincoln's Boys\u003c\/i\u003e is part political drama and part coming-of-age tale--a fascinating story of friendship, politics, war, and the contest over history and remembrance.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355109122199,"sku":"9780143126034","price":860.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143126034.webp?v=1767670457","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lincolns-boys-john-hay-john-nicolay-and-the-war-for-lincolns-image-9780143126034","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
