Jack E. Levin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of George Washington: The Crossing, presents a beautifully designed chronicle—complete with maps, portraits, and other Civil War illustrations—detailing President Abraham Lincoln’s historic Second Inaugural Address. As humble and faithful as the president who delivered it, Lincoln’s landmark Second Inaugural Address still resonates today. The speech was an attempt to unite a fractured people in a time when our nation was at its most divided, nearing the end of the Civil War. As you navigate this beautiful book, you’ll start to understand the significance and poetic power of this speech while you come closer to the man behind it. As an added bonus, Jack Levin’s son, #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Levin, has written an illuminating preface about the importance of Lincoln’s speech and its lasting impact on history. Filled with historic paintings and illustrations from the period, this book is a dramatic rendering of a momentous American occasion.

This short, accessible text takes on the global and pervasive phenomenon of hate crimes and hypothesizes potential fixes. Iganski and Levin detail evidence of hate violence in the 21st century, particularly religious hatred, ethnic, racial and xenophobic hatred, violence on the basis of sexual orientation and sexual identity, disablist violence, and violence against women, using the most recently published data from cross-national surveys produced by international organizations. This is an ideal addition to any course on social problems, violence, or hate crimes.

Exploring the complexities of hate crime, this book reveals that many offenders are not inherently malicious but rather ordinary individuals who commit acts of violence within the context of their daily lives. It delves into the psychological and social factors that contribute to such behavior, challenging preconceived notions about perpetrators and offering a deeper understanding of the motivations behind hate crimes.

Focusing on the criminalization of hate speech, the book explores the justification for punishing individuals for expressing bigotry through words. It examines the legal framework surrounding hate crimes and proposes an evidence-based approach to determine when speech crosses a harmful threshold. The author, a leading expert in the field, delves into the societal implications and consequences of verbally-expressed hate, making a compelling case for a nuanced understanding of this pressing issue.
