A review by benwagnerphotos
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin

5.0

Sometimes you read something that has been built up for you for years, that everyone who’s read tells you is a masterpiece, the best book they ever read, etc. And sometimes those things disappoint you. They’re good but, what was everyone so excited about?

This is not one of those books. Team of Rivals exceeded my expectations in every way. It redefined how I think about an era of American History, how I think about American politics, and how I think about our current affairs. A masterpiece in every sense.
