Title: Presents comprehensive and complex view of a popular icon.
Product review: This book presents so much of the personality of Lincoln, I have felt I have read the final word on his consideration as a president and a person. This book did not flatter Lincoln in any way yet it did not disparage him either. Oates' understanding of the American culture at this time blended with his analysis of Licoln's character gives the reader much more than a simple presentation of an icon.Oates' style is as melodious and rhythmic as a Vivaldi concerto. He is now my favorite historical author.A must for a personal library section.
