Download Abraham Lincoln Audiobook (Unabridged)

" For a book on the politics of Abraham Lincoln, this is good. Shows how he used the men who were his rivals for the US Presidency. You can see the gift Lincoln had of insight to handle people and problems. Also covers his early history, his campaigning for different offices, and death "

" An amazing and detailed portrait of Lincoln and his rivals/colleagues and the complex issues they faced. I am absolutely blown away by the Lincoln, Seward, Stanton, et al. A must read, especially given our country's challenges today. "

" wow - an amazing study of one of the world's truly great leaders. a must read! "

" PAGE turner. if you want to combine relational studies with Civil war... awesome. Please read. "

" None better.......a true case study in leadership based on history "

" Learned a lot about the civil war and leadership in general. Goodwin described the men in a way that makes them understandable even by people who lived 150+ years after they did. Highly recommend. "

" Ok, first thing you need to know is that it's 700 pages long. Second thing to know is that it's a really great 700 pages. So well told, you really stay engaged through the whole thing, and I learned so much! I'm really grateful to people who can make history so approachable by the non-scholar, so that we can have the chance to learn from our past and understand what a rich heritage we have. If anyone else reads it, I'd love to discuss it! "

" Long and heavy at times, but a great book. This reads like a novel, not a history book, though it is packed with history. Lincoln and his genius really comes to light. I also learned quite a bit about others of that time I thought I knew of, but didn't really. Well worth the read. "

" An amazing look at Lincoln and the men who shaped the country during the Civil War. The book looks in depth at his rivals who made up his cabinet and who grew to respect and admire a man whose background was nothing like theirs. "

" This is a fantastic book. I want more. "

" Fabulous! Great read. Great leadership pointers. "

" Powerful, compelling, and truly captivating biography of Lincoln and a survey of the most powerful men of an age. So worth a read. "

" I've seen others say it, and I'm going to repeat it: Put down whatever you're reading now and read this book. It will give you a greater understanding and appreciation for this period of U.S. history and the man, Abraham Lincoln. "

" Superb biography of Lincoln, told through his relationships with those in his cabinet. Goodwin breathes such life into the main players. Highest recommendation. "

" Excellent book that taught me about Lincoln in a way I had not known or considered before. His ability to work with leaders of different opinions and abilities was an inspiration to me. "

" Not as good as I had hoped for. I've liked her other books, but I didn't think this had enough new information in it to warrant such a long book. "

" Godwin tells the story primarily of the years of Lincoln's presidency and the different factions attempting to influence his decisions. "

" Read it before seeing the movie! "

" Liked it a lot - I need to go see the movie again, now that I have a better sense of who's who. "

" DKG is an amazing historian. I love all that she does. This book is another example of her passion for history. Great book. "

" This book was amazing! I love Kearns ability to story-tell this biography. "

" An excellent read from start to finish. I feel as if I now have a profound understanding of this great man. I think it brilliant that the author chose to define Mr. Lincoln by the views and perceptions of these equally interesting men and women. This is a triumph of literary genius. Bravo! "

" Very good history of Abraham Lincoln and the interesting dynamics within his Cabinet. Very sorry to have it end and in such a traumatic way. "

" Especially interesting against the backdrop of the Republic Convention. "

" Exhaustive (in a good way) Lincoln bio. Well written. Contains all you'll ever want to know about this remarkable president. "

" Fascinating and compelling. I was glad I read it before watching the movie. "

" An excellent book. Extremely well written and thoroughly researched. I would recommend this to anyone wishing to explore the political landscape and strategic vision of Lincoln. "

" I started this just before going to see the movie "Lincoln" and while the movie covered only a small part of what the book does; and the book hardly went into the manuverings to pass the 13th Amendment to the extent that the movie does--having seen the movie made it easy to visualize these men. "

" One of the best biographies I have ever read. "
