Title: The real man behind the myth.
Product review: Abraham Lincoln was a great man but between the time of his murder and now, people have made him a myth. However, Lincoln was a man and human, and he was not perfect. Many people judge him by his mistakes, and more revere the myth, but Lincoln grew as a man and leader. His views evolved for the betterment of both himself and his country. Judgement based on his myth or his faults are not valid. Oates' book shows Lincoln in his true human form with all his warts and abilities. My admiration of Lincoln grew with the image of him passing his weaknesses and errors and becoming a strong leader.This is a nice read about a true American hero. The author's book shows Lincoln in all his human ability. During the year celebrating the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, this is a great book to read and understand the true Lincoln.
