Spanning Lincoln’s life—from his early career as a Springfield lawyer, to his presidential reign during one of America’s most troubled historical periods, to his assassination in 1865—these essays, developed from original C-SPAN interviews, provide a compelling, composite portrait of Lincoln, one that offers up new stories and fresh insights on a defining leader. Edited by C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb and Susan Swain, illustrated with Lamb’s photographs of Lincoln landmarks, and promoted throughout the year on C-SPAN, Abraham Lincoln is a wonderful compendium of information and deeply-informed analysis that deserves a prominent place on every bookshelf.

Others in the family whom I purchased these for might have opened and read the email. Really to received it on Christmas Eve is poor timing. Folks do shop early and want to keep it a secret. Rating: - DisappointedBook was returned because of its presentation, not content. Yellowish paper and difficult typeset made text difficult to read comfortably. Very disappointed because I was looking forward to reading it. Rating: - Lincoln on C-SPANA wonderful purchase for anyone with even a faint interest in Abraham Lincoln and his impact on America. In this book, many notable scholars lend their thoughts and insights in a conversational style to various aspects of the Lincoln story. A reader will be delayed neither by scholarly jargon nor intrusive footnotes. Instead, that person is presented with the easy opportunity to be exposed to a wide breadth of the scholarship directly touching upon Mr. Lincoln. And afterwards, if interest is ... Read More
