Team of Rivals
Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals” is a masterful dive into Lincoln’s political genius. I was captivated by her vivid portrayal of how he outmaneuvered his more experienced rivals, bringing them into his cabinet to harness their talents. The book’s rich detail transported me to the tumultuous Civil War era, offering fresh insights into Lincoln’s leadership. Goodwin’s storytelling is so engaging, I often forgot I was reading history rather than a gripping novel. A must-read for anyone fascinated by American politics or Lincoln’s legacy.
