This book is not just about
Abraham Lincoln! Goodwin exposes the greatness and
vulnerabilities of Lincoln, all the great men in his cabinet, close
family, lifelong friends, war generals....did I mention it is a
lengthy book?
What a great example to
us all! Lincoln overlooked a man's imperfection and found the
virtues within. He willingly worked with men that others could
only offer contempt! A true political genius! Besides a
great moral story, Team of Rivals opened my eyes to the
political process of the past. Amazing!!!
I read in lightning speed and
by the book's end felt as though I were part of the team! OK,
I admit, sometimes I was, just at times hear, perturbed at Lincoln's
patience and longsuffering. I was a just bit uptight while
yelling, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? GET RID OF THAT
GUY! HE'S BRINGING YOU (and the Union) DOWN!"
When you've finished you may
want to check out LINCOLN: A Photobiography. It is an
easier read, but the book captures some of the greatest images of
Lincoln!
Happy Reading
