Story
Abraham Lincoln did not come out of nowhere. But if he was shaped by his times, he also managed at his life's fateful hour to shape them to an extent few could have foreseen. Ultimately, this is the great drama that astonishes us still, and that Abe brings to fresh and vivid life. The measure of that life will always be part of our American education.

A Masterwork
Reviewed: 04-06-21
A most human, thoughtful account of the life and times of the greatest American president. To achieve both professional greatness and deep personal goodness on the level that he did, has never since been rivaled by a POTUS. Notwithstanding his already massive shadow over American history and political culture, Reynolds telling suggests that Lincoln’s life and legacy should loom even larger over our troubled contemporary moment. We should all be so lucky.
