Book #2: Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, Doris Kerns Goodwin
Of the 45 presidents of the United States, Lincoln is perhaps one of the greatest. He was able to successfully lead our country through one of the most tumultuous times both politically and socially. One of the unique aspects of Lincoln’s leadership was that he surrounded himself with his political rivals – both rivals with him and rivals with each other. In this books, Doris Kearns Goodwin paints a fresh portrait of our 16th president showing that he was a master of politics and leadership in a time when leadership was so desperately needed. This was a fascinating read and a highly recommended biography of Abraham Lincoln.
