  <default-description>Someone once said that more books have been written about Abraham Lincoln than any other person in history save Jesus and Shakespeare. Indeed, it is impossible to understand the Civil War without getting to know the complex figure of the 16th president. More than any other biographer, Stephen B. Oates brings the plain-talking man from Illinois to life as a canny politician, a doting husband, and a determined wartime leader. Oates has an appealing appreciation for Lincoln's majestic control of the English language, his raw humor, and his undeniable heroism. The final pages, covering Lincoln's death and his legacy, are graceful and moving.  </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Inspiring.  I'm convinced more than ever that Lincoln, like the Founding Fathers, was inspired by God to do the great work that he did.  More than a great read, it changed my way of thinking.  Love books like that!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A narrative history of the life of Abraham Lincoln. It's not particularly scholarly, and the prose style hasn't aged well, but it's not bad as an intro to Lincoln. The ending is peculiar--Lincoln dies, and the book ends. If the book had been written within the past 10 years or so it would presumably...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19491071">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am a huge fan of Abraham Lincoln. He seems to have had a really good head on his shoulders and made some of the toughest decisions any president of ours has had to face. He just comes off in his writing (and based on his actions) as a person of excellent moral fiber, not to mention a sense of humo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19808586">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've noticed that this book is quoted extensively in &quot;April 1865:  The Month That Saved America.&quot;  I read it a number of years ago and really enjoyed it.  It gets a little heavy and dense in discussing all the war years and war strategy, but it is overall a really, really well-researched, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26085967">more...</a>]]></body>
