What Lincoln Believed
Michael Lind’s new book, What Lincoln Believed, the Values and Convictions of America’s Greatest President (Doubleday), studies the thoughts of America’s most revered president. Larry speaks with Lind about his guide to the public philosophy that guided Lincoln as a statesman and shaped the United States.
The Last Voyage of Columbus
Everybody knows Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. But years later, in 1500, he would make an even more precarious voyage. Stripped of his title, accused of heresy and theft, Columbus was imprisoned. But he escaped and fled across the Caribbean, still searching for a westerly passage to India in one of history’s forgotten adventures. Larry talks to Martin Dugard about his new book, The Last Voyage of Columbus (Little, Brown and Company), on the last voyage of history’s most famous explorer.
