[Book] Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln

[Ampresus]

Damn this is a huge book. I am no American and so had no clue what the hell Abe had actually done and why he was so famous. Gotta admit: details about people I didn’t know at all were very unnecessary in my opinion. Why would I care about Salmon P. Chase’s wife? Make this book a bit too much.

Overall liked the end a lot. Now I understand how the Civil War went down in the USA. If you are really interested in politics and wouldn't mind learning from the history of politics, I highly suggest you buy this book.

3/5 stars

I loved the book too. Also thought the movie adaptation was very good also.

Lincoln is an inspiring character without a doubt. Danial Day Lewis did a great job in his performance.
