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.

The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War
from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:

For my entire life I was a hard-core Republican. I loved Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. I read DiLorenzos terrific book How Capitalism Saved America but I still remained a neo-conservative. I hesitated to get this book, but boy am I glad I did. Since then I realized that I have been... more info

Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe
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."

Customer Review:

I can truthfully say that this is the first book I have ever read about A. Lincoln. I loved it! It had intimate deatils and insight looks into the depression of the former President himself.

For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

This book is mainly for academics and true historians. It's a short book, which makes it a quick read, but it's not as good as some of McPherson's other Civil War books. (like "Ordeal by Fire"). His thesis is that Civil War soldiers, both Union and Confederate, fought for three different reasons (or... more info

Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

This book is a complete biography of Mary Todd Lincoln starting out with her grandparents which surprised me. This book is not an overview of Mary's life it is very detailed. I think it is a fair account of her life and there are some things I never would have guessed. I must admit I haven't... more info

Ulysses S. Grant : Memoirs and Selected Letters : Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant / Selected Letters, 1839-1865 (Library of America)
from Library of America
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:

Well written history is a rare treat, and rarer still is a history by one who lived through it. Grant writes engagingly and humorously and with great humility for a man who achieved so much. That he wrote this in the throes of cancer, finishing it on death's door and yet has no sence of savig... more info

Abraham Lincoln and Civil War America: A Biography
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $19.71

Customer Review:

Bill Gienapp was a brilliant historian, and his work "The Origins of the Republican Party, 1852-1856" is a pillar of American political history. Unfortunately, his final work, "Abraham Lincoln and Civil War America," is a tremendous let-down. It is perhaps one of the worst examinations of Lincoln's... more info
