Customer Review:
Team of Rivals starts with following the lives of four different people prior to the 1860 presidential race. The four people were Seward (becomes Sec of State), Chase (becomes Sec of Treasury), Bates (becomes Attorney General) and finally Lincoln.

3.The Lincolns: Portrait of a MarriageThe Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage
from Ballantine Books
Price: $18.48

Customer Review:
There is a review in this week's THE WEEK magazine, calling Epstein's book 'maybe the best Lincoln book in a generation.' I know that Abe Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln have had many biographers, but I can't recall a biography (like this one) that felt so compelling. It was literally 'hard to put... more info

4.Alexander HamiltonAlexander Hamilton
from Penguin Press
Price: $8.99

Customer Review:
From what I learned of American history as a schoolboy, Hamilton was certainly considered as one of the founding fathers, but he was relegated to the periphery among the founders; and he and the Federalists, according to this teaching, needed to be constantly restrained by the wisdom of Thomas... more info

5.LincolnLincoln
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
This is a biography of Lincoln. The problem in writing a biography of Lincoln, of course, is that so many thousands of books on Lincoln have already been written. How do you say anything new and useful about the man, about whom more words have been written than anyone else in American history?more info

from Barnes & Noble Classics
Price: $4.95

Customer Review:
This is one of the most violent books (an autobiography!) I ever read. It illustrates horrifyingly `that crime of crimes: making man the property of his fellow man.' It shows the horrendous `playing' field of blood and blasphemy, of flogging and callous skins, of hunger and nakedness, and even... more info

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
Very good reading. It reiterates much of what I had learned in school many years ago, before society, as a whole, changed history books in order to become more "politically correct."
