The research was good as was the writing. The thing that I did not enjoy was that it seemed the author was trying to hard to stay in the middle ground of those who love Lincoln and those who hate him. It's worth reading and keeping for reference. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"There is no better introduction to current thinking about Lincoln and his place in history." --Newsday An essential book for any student of Lincoln and American history, Abraham Lincoln: The Man Behind the Myths is acclaimed Lincoln biographer Stephen B. Oates's unique exploration of America's sixteenth president in reality and memory. In this multifaceted portrait, Oates, "the most popular historical interpreter of Lincoln" (Gabor S. Boritt, New York Times Book Review), exposes the human side of the great and tragic president--including his depression, his difficulties with love, and his troubled and troubling attitudes about slavery--while also confronting the many legends that have arisen around "Honest Abe." Oates throughout raises timely questions about what the Lincoln mythos reveals about the American people. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
