America is experiencing its most dangerous divisions since the Civil War. In this episode of The Enemies List, Rick is joined by NPR’s Steve Inskeep, to discuss the risk our country faces and Steve’s new book, Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America. Together, they explore the lesser known moments in Lincoln's presidency, the intricacies of his political strategy, his key relationships, and what modern politicians and political systems can learn from his approach.
