Publisher's Summary

In this monumental multiple biography, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin studies Abraham Lincoln's mastery of men. She shows how he saved Civil War-torn America by appointing his fiercest rivals to key cabinet positions, making them help achieve his vision for peace. As well as a thrilling piece of narrative history, it's an inspiring study of one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen. A book to bury yourself in.

Inspiring

An inspiring account of one of the greatest men in history. And true to the title, the book narrated in good detail lives of each of the four men, their aspirations, follies and strengths. Some of the lessons can be applied in corporate setting in dealing with people.

So little did I know about this great being!

The books is a handy work of scrupulously crafted verbatim and tell tales, the supreme memoir that ever is or will be.

But it’s not the book that held me, it’s the man- I never knew the great man beyond his quotes and legends. This tale narrates the man Lincoln was, his fallibilities, his gullibilities, his nativities and his ascendency to leadership without any pretence or makeup and with clarity of purpose and honesty of intent. His child like joy in little things is a lesson to modern day ‘us’, the ones who surround ourselves in physical comforts and still yearn for more. His ability to take criticism and still keep his chin up, to manoeuvre through tight spots and seek assistance with clean heart when not able to wriggle out. Finally his innateness of being nice and to touch everyone whom he came across in person or otherwise is a lesson to modern day leaders both in business and politics. If the man wanted, he could have an easy presidency but he chose the hard one with his team of rivals and this became the indelible honest Abe!
