About the book
Doris Kearns Goodwin presents a masterful portrait of Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War, focusing on his strategy of surrounding himself with brilliant and ambitious men—his chief political rivals. Goodwin examines how Lincoln chose William Seward, Salmon Chase, and Edwin Stanton for his cabinet, despite their conflicting egos and divided loyalties.
Through correspondence, diaries, and eyewitness accounts, the author builds a narrative that reveals how Lincoln's leadership transformed rivalries into a cohesive force during the nation's most crucial period in its history.
