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

5.0

I’ve had this book on my shelf since it came out to the public, but decided to read it now. Doris Kearns Goodwin is very detailed in her descriptions about what was going on in the mid 1800s and the political players who participated. So much of what was happening in Lincoln’s time can be mirrored to today’s political endeavors. Name calling, over zealous media, insurrections, death, racism, conspiracies, and political divisiveness all take part in this story about Lincoln’s rise and fall as president. It seemed that all who worked with Lincoln held him in high regard, regardless of political party.
