Another excellent read, with a finale that's hard to beat in the genre.
Good to read about a peaceable intelligent man.
I am much more appreciative of the complexities of Lincoln, both personal and political, and amazed at what a complex and deep human being he was. He tells a convincing story of how this hick from Springfield, IL became the 16th U.S. president--with his rustic idioms, reedy voice but thorough command of English syntax and keen analysis of others.

A superbly written deeper look at many aspects of Lincoln's life...I've read a lot about him, but learned much more about his personal interactions with many friends, Cabinet members, military leaders, common folks and especially his wife, Mary.
And it is a lively read, with wonderful, insightful sketches of the important people in Lincoln's life, like his father Thomas; his wife, Mary Todd; Sec'y of State Seward; Sec'y of War Edwin Stanton; and Senator Charles Sumner. Mostly I was struck by the parallel of the political climate in the 1860's to the one today.Quite old-fashioned, and that's not a bad thing.
