Negative Positive
Title: Absolute Garbage.
Review: Throughout this book, DiLorenzo purposefully misleads the reader by misquoting Lincoln and other sources, completely neglecting context, and leaving out vital information to understanding the truth. DiLorenzo has one objective in this book: convincing the reader that Lincoln is pure evil. He doesn't care what he has to say, he doesn't care if he prints the truth; all he cares about is that the reader agrees with him.Anyone with a basic understanding of the Civil War and 19th Century America could riddle the pages with counterpoints disproving virtually EVERY SINGLE point that DiLorenzo makes. I wouldn't exaggerate; Dilorenzo flat-out lies constantly, and if he isn't intentionally lying, he is incredibly misguided on the issues discussed. PLEASE do yourself a favor and avoid this book. If you're being forced to read this for a class, I beg that you question his points and think critically about the topics because this book is full of extreme propaganda. It is awful.
