Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year by David von Drehle

4.0

This book gave new meaning to "Team of Rivals." von Drehle goes through a year during the war when the cabinet, political parties, foreign leaders and generals were a ll "at war" at one time or another with Lincoln. I'm amazed at his ability to survive, move with great political instincts among the fractious group to victory.
