    so many new details
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2012*

I have read scores of books on Lincoln since I was about 9 years old. He was such an interesting and unusual man it is easy to see why there have been more books written about him than any man who ever lived! That by itself shows that there is much to him and even though he lived over 150 years ago his incredible gift with words lets him speak to every person today.This book goes over his life and the events in it as many books have done before but the difference for me is that there are so many little details and anecdotes about events that make them even more powerful, gives me a new way of understanding what Lincoln was facing and how he dealt with it.The opposition to the emancipation is shown in its many aspects in a way that makes it clear how brave a move it was for Lincoln and how committed he was to getting rid of slavery. His growth as a man from a racist society to where he ended up is a testament to his ability to lead people. The North as well as the South were very hostile to blacks, slave or free. Lincoln, while he hated slavery, could not see how the two races could live together, even though he had no hatred for blacks at all, knew most whites did. Therefore he saw colonization, where blacks are settled in a place for just blacks in either Africa or the Caribbean or Central America,as the only reasonable solution. This was a popular notion in his day amongst others who hated slavery but could not see how blacks could live with so many bigoted whites. However, Lincoln was for colonization only on a voluntary basis. No blacks would be forced to go. He thought that would be an easy task as the blacks were treated to horribly but whenever he broached the topic with blacks the overwhelming majority refused colonization. America was their country too. They wanted to reform it not leave it.Eventually Lincoln saw that colonization would not be viable and ended up asking for blacks to have full citizenship and even get the right to vote. When he announced that idea to a crowd outside the window of the White House John Wilkes Booth, in the crowd, decided in his racist mind that Lincoln had to be killed, and did so 3 days later.Lincoln had respect for all people white or black, slave or slaveowner. He was, as was often mentioned, "a very poor hater." He was motivated by a need to see justice for all, all his life and slavery was the greatest, and to use his words "most monstrous injustice", ever and he struck it down when he knew he could lead the people to accept it.This book makes clear the incredible challenges Lincoln faced with almost constant attacks on him by the democrats, much of the media, and some in his own party.Even the day after the Inaugural ball when he gets word that Fort Sumter needed to be resupplied he has to immediately deal with the potential trigger to the civil War.His cabinet and military advisors are split as to what to do. Some say surrender the fort, its not worth anything.Some sayfight back. Lincoln has no military experience and is faced with a major challenge. He weighs the options, sends trusted friends to Charleston to tell him the potential reaction to various options and also if there is any pro Union sentiment that can be utilized. He had a view that the Secessionist were a minority of the people and that reason could yet get the South back.The message came back that there was no pro Union sentiment. He then decided that since he had just told the people in his inaugural address that he would hold all Federal property and institutions he would do so. And if there was to be a Civil War the South would have to fire the first shot.Lincoln understood the motivator that would be for the North and also how that would make it harder for other Nations to support the South.Over and over in this book the challenges Lincoln faced are clarified, put in true context and detailed so as to better understand the genius of this most amazing man.

    The best, most intimate biography
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021*

This has to be, one of, if not THE  best of biographies written of President Abraham Lincoln. We come to know a complex, yet  straightforward man, a man Americans can be proud of -- no matter the prevailing PC mantras. Here we see a good man become great as he follows his conscience and upholds the tenet "All men are created equal."The author has done an astonishing job presenting to us the 16th President of the United States -- his convictions, his foibles, his habits, his mannerisms, the studied way he accrues facts, and the immoveable judgements he makes based on those facts.Mr. Oates also involves us in the politics of the day:the rancor, the jealousies, the mood of the country in tumultuous times, and the ultimately the love of Americans for their president. We also see the Commander in Chief dealing with a recalcitrant, sometimes pettyCabinet, Union Generals who won't fight and those who will.We owe Mr. Oates many thanks for allowing our acquaintance with Abraham Lincoln. This is a wonderful book about extraordinary leader.

    One of the Best
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016*

One of the better Lincoln biographies.  It does the best job of giving perspective to the role of abolitionists relative to the Republican's anti-extension of slavery.  In the same vein it gives a very understandable sense of the demise of the Whigs and the rise of the Republicans.  While there are many insightful views of Lincoln's life, I found myself noticing what was missing.  I suspect this is more a matter of having read enough Lincoln, I want to see everything in every book which is too high a standard to which to hold any author.All in all, this is very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed it - as I consumed it almost as if it were a suspense novel!
