Garry Wills' many best-selling books include Nixon Agonistes, Reagan's America, and the 1993 Pulitzer Prize-winning Lincoln at Gettysburg.

Drawing on his intimate knowledge of the vivid intrigue and drama of Jacobean England, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Lincoln at Gettysburg" restores Macbeth's suspenseful tension by returning it to the context of its own time, recreating the burning theological and political crises of Shakespeare's era.
