Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
5.0
I had known little about Lincoln before reading this book, but Goodwins analysis of both him and his 'team of rivals' has left such a profound impression upon me that I would now personally consider Licoln one of the greatest men to ever exist.
This man in Ted Lasso is in the flesh saving the great experiment of a people's democratic government. Pure class, no judgment, magnanimity against those who despised him, absolute forgiveness. Even going so far as to not only constantly take responsibility for the mistakes of a man in his cabinet who usurped him at every position for his own ambition, but to nominate his as chief justice to the supreme court after being betrayed by him due to his qualifications in spite of their personal relationship.
If everyone could be 10% more like lincoln the world would be a much better place
