Title: stay away from this author
Review: This author, Thomas J. DiLorenzo is a pseudo-intellectual. Check him out on Youtube. I have heard him lecture. Unfortunately, his goal is not to explore Lincoln in an objective way, but rather to justify Southern secession during the Civil War, and to support extremist, anti-fed Libertarianism. Do a few searches online to see that he is not a credible scholar. He traffics his ideas mainly to extremist groups in the South. Visit the wikipedia sources at the bottom of his entry. Don't trust me, Google this man. But above all, don't buy his book. Read it from the library, if you must. Lincoln is a great president; complex, conflicted, but worthy of serious study.
