- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent biography of Lincoln. Many details which can induce drowsiness at times but can also give great insight and clarification to perceptions of Lincoln. This book takes time to read if you intend to remember bits of it. It definitely satisfies my need for scholarly reading.
