Title: the real lincoln - NOT
Review: I could ramble on why the book is taking Lincoln out of text, but it is best you read a book that tells you what DiLorenzo leaves out of his books. He cherry picks. If your ignorant about Lincoln you will fall for this book. The Kansas-Nebraska act is very important. So is Lincoln's reply to the Dred Scott case. Neither one are mentioned in these books more than one or two lines. If you knew the truth about what Lincoln stated on just these two subjects, you would know DiLorenzo takes Lincoln out of context or doesn't mention things that make him look good. Carl Sandburg made more out of Lincoln than he was - Almost as if he was a god. Lincoln was no god. We do need books that tell both sides. This book only tells the bad side of Lincoln, but he is taken out of context. Don't believe me, read the book that refutes this - Lincoln Vindicated.
