This was excellent. The basic difference Guelzo points out is that Douglas was a champion of the importance process in a free government, and Lincoln was a champion of morality. (And Galesburg gets high marks for improvisation.)

I haven't really read much about this part of Lincoln's life/career, so this was somewhat an educational endeavor. My only complaint, really, is that the book didn't have a very good narrative flow which at times made it more of a chore to read. But overall, good.
