David Perry

David Perry was a professor of American history at the University of New Haven. In addition to several publications in Civil War journals and magazines, he was selected by National Public Radio to do an interview on Abraham Lincoln in honor of the two hundredth anniversary of the president’s birth. This was followed up by a national broadcast from New York comparing the State Department work of William Henry Seward with that of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Perry has also collaborated with Pulitzer Prize winner David Herbert Donald, whose Lincoln biography has become a standard.
