Doris Kearns Goodwin

This book may already have been posted but I am new on here and there is such a lomg history I will fall asleep before I go back over it.

Just read "A Team of Rivals" by the above author... wow the best political book I have ever read bar none. Lincoln must be hands down the best President the US has ever had, a genius and a political operator of the first order. I have seen DKG a few times on the TV in DC, she used to be a regular on the Meet The Press as the late and sorely missed Tim Russert would wheel her out during elections to comment on past Presidents. She is a national teasure.

I wonder whether you've read Gore Vidal's "Lincoln" and how closely the two pictures mesh together? Vidal uses a fiction format to cover the same ground. I'd be surprised if he'd got his history wrong, he's not that sort of writer.
