July 25, 2007: I wanted to read a bio on Lincoln that was as basic, thourough, and enjoyable as possible. For anybody, who has yet to read anything about Lincoln, start here. Oats traces the life and career of Lincoln in a narrative that is easy to read while conveying the most important facts about his life and career, and those who surrounded him who shaped his presidency and influence on slavery and the Civil War. A must read, for anybody wanting to get a picture of his leadership qualities and how he saved the union and ended slavery, standing behind his principles that make him one of the most admired figures in American history.

March 25, 2005: Mr. Oates does an excellent job of presenting Abraham Lincoln in his entirety. Lincoln has been lifted to such a high place in American history it is easy to forget he was a real person with faults and eccentricities just like everyone else. Mr. Oates brings Lincoln down to our level where we can understand and appreciate him.
