GIANTS: The Parallel Lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln By John Stauffer
I'm reading this awsome book GIANTS. It's the first major biography to view two of the great leaders of the 19th century as self-make men, written by Harvard University professor John Stauffer, winner of the Frederick Douglass Book Prize. http://fly2.ws/FrederickD

"John Stauffer's collective biography of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln stands apart from other biographies by focusing on how each man continually remade himself... [It] dissolves traditional conceptions of these two seminal figures...and tells the poignant story of how these preeminent self-made men helped transform the nation." - Henry Louis Gates Jr. Harvard University
