Lincoln in the World: The Making of a Statesman and the Dawn of American Power by Kevin Peraino
5.0
This book takes a fascinating look at Abraham Lincoln's role in not only changing the presidency but also into his impact on foreign policy-making. It also takes on his earlier life as both a lawyer and a statesman.
I found the book fascinating and interesting. I honestly had not seen any sort of books on his policy making. If there have been, it had been mostly brief. Most books tend to just cover his presidency and the impact his death made upon the Union.
I did not know of the British newspapers making fun of him nor that there was a possibility of the British contemplating joining in the war. I really enjoyed learning a lot more of Lincoln's presidency than just the Civil War. I learned that he had some good policies and some not so good but in all honesty, I suppose that is to be expected. All presidents will have some wining policies and some that should have been just ripped up.
The only thing that did bother me through this book was that "complaining" always kept popping up like "he complained". I would have like to see other variations of the word than just complaining.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about Abraham Lincoln.
