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

5.0

This was AMAZING. How did I not know that Lincoln staffed his cabinet with his political opponents who ran against him for president? When the nation was so fragile, he brought so many different minds to the table when he could have easily placed people in his sphere who would have been “yes” men. Some really amazing takeaways for todays day and age.

*Just realized I read the abridged version through my library. Someday I’ll make it through the 41 hour version- but just in case people want to know: the 9 hour version is also really good.
