With Malice Toward None - Stephen B Oates - Bog

A masterful biography of Lincoln that follows his bitter struggle with poverty, his self-made success in business and law, his early disappointing political career, and his leadership as President during one of America's most tumultuous periods."Here, in these pages, he is still alive....Not the god of the Lincoln Memorial, but a man struggling to remain himself under terrible burdens."
