"Fry has produced an impressive and judicious account of Lincoln
and Seward's conduct of Civil War foreign relations...it is an
excellent, slim volume to recommend to undergraduates and lay
readers alike." -- Journal of Southern History
"Fry offers an illuminating overview of the cooperative efforts of
Lincoln and Seward to shape US foreign policy during the Civil
War." -- Humanities and Social Sciences Online
"Fry...does more than just discuss the Lincoln administration's
efforts to prevent foreign intervention in the Civil War, a topic
well covered by many authors, but also touches on the broader range
of issues that more or less fell under the umbrella of 'foreign
relations'.... Lincoln, Seward, and U.S. Foreign Relations in the
Civil War Era...is a valuable read for anyone interested in
American foreign policy in the mid-nineteenth century, and, of
course, the Civil War." -- Strategy Page
"This is quite simply the best book I have read on the Civil War in
the last twelve months. The author sketches in the vastly different
backgrounds of the two men and their prewar philosophies and
political experience. To read this book, filled with deft portraits
of the two men and their critical partnership, is almost to meet
them. Informed and wise, it is a joy to read." -- North & South
