The Great Abolitionist Receives Two “Starred Reviews” From Major Pre-Publication Reviewers!
I was honored that my upcoming eighth book, THE GREAT ABOLITIONIST: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union (April 2024 – St. Martin’s Press), has received outstanding “starred reviews” from Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly – two of the most influential pre-publication reviewers!
Kirkus said in part, “[The Great Abolitionist is] a wonderfully written book about a true American freedom fighter.”

Publishers Weekly said in part: “Readers won’t be able to get enough of Puleo’s indomitable Sumner.”

I’m grateful for these wonderful reviews. I hope you enjoy THE GREAT ABOLITIONIST just as much!
The Great Abolitionist
The Great Abolitionist: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union
Steve Puleo's eighth book, The Great Abolitionist – available in April 2024 – is the first full biography in more than 50 years on U.S. Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, an antislavery and civil rights hero.
We have launched our new section dedicated to The Great Abolitionist, so please have a look. It contains excerpts, book club study questions, pre-publication reviews, and more.
“When it comes to impeccable research – the kind that surprises and never rehashes – no one does it better than Stephen Puleo. The Great Abolitionist is a literary and historical triumph and is sure to be on many year-end “best” lists in 2024.”
Gregg Olsen, New York Times and Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Amish Wife and If You Tell: A True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood.
How High School
Students Inspire Me!
Each time I visit a high school, I leave encouraged and filled with gratitude. I find the students to be engaged and enthusiastic – some of the best questions I receive come from high school students. The kids are eager to learn and enjoy taking part in discussions. And most often they do so with a great attitude and sense of humor. Visit my Schools page to learn more about my feeling on this topic and my numerous school visits!
