Author: Doris Kearns GoodwinArguably one of the best books I (AJ) have ever read. I didn't know what I was getting myself into as the book is almost 800 pages and centers on people that I had never heard of (Samuel Chase, Edward Bates, etc.). However, I was pleasantly surprised. Goodwin tells the fascinating story of Lincoln's life through the eyes of those who were his rivals and friends. In the end, the reader sees just what an incredible man & leader Lincoln was. I skim alot of the books that I read - but not this one - I read ever word! I have to go with a rare 5 out 5 star ranking! Outstanding!
