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.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.
