Sidney Blumenthal Interview: The Life & Times of Abraham Lincoln

Journalist Sidney Blumenthal discusses the importance of Abraham Lincoln’s House Divided Speech from 1858, the death of Lincoln’s Son Willie in 1862, the practical impact of The Emancipation Proclamation and the role of photography during the Civil War. Sidney Blumenthal is an American journalist and political operative. He earned a BA in Sociology from Brandeis University in 1969, and began his career in Boston as a journalist who wrote for the Boston Phoenix and the Real Paper. In 1983, Blumenthal became the chief national political correspondent for The New Republic, covering the 1984 Presidential campaign. In 1993, Blumenthal became the chief Washington correspondent for The New Yorker before joining the Clinton Administration in the summer of 1997. He was an aide to President Bill Clinton and confidant of Hillary Clinton and was formerly employed by the Clinton Foundation. As a journalist, Blumenthal is known for his writings about American politics and foreign policy. He is also the author of a multivolume biography of Abraham Lincoln, The Political Life of Abraham Lincoln. Three books of the planned five-volume series have already been published: A Self-Made Man (2017), Wrestling With His Angel (2017), and All the Powers of Earth (2019). Blumenthal has also written for The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, and Salon. He is a regular contributor to the openDemocracy website and was formerly a regular columnist for The Guardian. The Apple TV+ series "Lincoln's Dilemma," features insights from journalists, educators and scholars, as well as rare archival materials, that offer a more nuanced look into the life of the Great Emancipator. Set against the background of the Civil War, "Lincoln's Dilemma" also gives voice to the narratives of enslaved people, shaping a more complete view of an America divided over issues including economy, race and humanity, and underscoring Lincoln's battle to save the country, no matter the cost. The series is narrated by award-winning actor Jeffrey Wright ("Angels in America") and features the voices of actor Bill Camp ("The Night Of") as Lincoln and Leslie Odom Jr. ("Hamilton") as Frederick Douglas.
