Lincoln

by Gore Vidal

By the time you finish it, You will truly understand why Lincoln was one of the greatest presidents as well as have a good understanding and background of the civil war

Which, if Lincoln had not prosecuted so well, we would be a divided country.

Vidal is an excellent author who is able to take historical fact and wind it through fictional tales.
