"This book details the rise of Abraham Lincoln and his entire cabinet. In many ways, this book is a biography of 4 different people but mainly follows how Lincoln was able to demonstrate leadership in possibly the most important time in the history of the America. The book is incredibly researched and covers the truth of the civil war and slavery. This a very very long read...I would recommend having some US history interest ahead of time."
