The Rudolf G. Schade Lecture Series at Elmhurst College

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin has spent the last five decades studying America’s presidents, masterfully bringing the force and vitality of their history into our times. Her talk at Elmhurst College draws from her book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, described by the Los Angeles Times as “the most richly detailed account of the Civil War presidency to appear in as many years.” The book received numerous awards and was the basis for Steven Spielberg’s film Lincoln, which was nominated for 12 Academy Awards.

A book signing will follow the lecture. Copies will be available for purchase.
