Thrilling news from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute:

The winner of ISI’s 2015 Henry and Anne Paolucci Book Award is the celebrated historian Richard Brookhiser for his book Founders’ Son: A Life of Abraham Lincoln.
The Paolucci Book Award honors the best work that advances conservative principles. On October 1, Brookhiser, a senior editor of National Review and the acclaimed author of eleven books, will receive the award and give a talk on Founders’ Son.
In the words of the Boston Globe, Founders’ Son is “beautifully written and choked with insights.” As Brookhiser writes early in the book, Founders’ Son “is not a full-dress biography of Lincoln” but rather “a history of his career, and the unfolding of the ideas that animated it.” Brookhiser masterfully explores those ideas, and the sources for them–in particular, the ideas of America’s Founders.

A more deserving recipient we cannot imagine. Congratulations, Rick!
