Title: Selective Vision
Review: Like a fundamentalist Christian preacher selectively quoting from obscure scripture to make a preconceived point, Gov. Cuomo certainly is selective in citing Lincoln to support the former Governor's case against the current President. For example, he uses a quote from Lincoln to his law partner as evidence that Lincoln opposed "pre-emptive war". The Governor would have us accept this obscure quote over the most tumultuous act of Lincoln's presidency: his decision to invade Virginia instead of negotiating a peaceful accomodation - as pre-emptive a war as the United States has ever fought. Unfortunately, such unscholarly perspectives relegate this book to something less than the "chamber of commerce"-style inspirational book, "Lincoln on Leadership". A reader interested in Lincoln's thinking and how it might relate to the issues of our day is advised to spend time with David Herbert Donald's "Lincoln".
