Talk About It:
Newsweek: New Discoveries About Abe Lincoln — "Jean Harvey Baker, a pioneer of women's and political-cultural history, made us see Mary Lincoln more clearly. David Herbert Donald shifted his sharp pen from novelist Thomas Wolfe to Lincoln and won two Pulitzer Prizes. Doris Kearns Goodwin has made us see anew the workings of a 'team of rivals' known as a cabinet. Allen Guelzo places Lincoln into an intellectual and religious context better than anybody in the old days of slow-ball and Bible-thump. ... Books are hardly the only 'new thing' about Lincoln."
