Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns GoodwinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had sort of avoided this because I am more interested in Lincoln biographies and Civil War history than-what I thought this was-a cabinet (political) history. It really is the former; Lincoln's life and ideology and the story of the events leading to the Civil War and its arc. The ideological path leading to an anti-Slavery conflict and the Emancipation Proclamation make me want to learn a political history of the Confederacy, too. Is there one?
