Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
Christian Century, Dec 13, 2005
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. By Doris Kearns Goodwin. Simon & Schuster, 944 pp., $35.00.
While this epic-sized volume may not break new ground for Lincoln specialists, its narrative richness is captivating. Kearns Goodwin sets Lincoln among his peers, specifically Edwin Bates, William Seward and Salmon R Chase, each of whom had hoped to win the presidency instead of Lincoln in 1860. Lincoln courted the service of each of these rivals, bringing them into his cabinet, a bold move that led to friction but ultimately to extraordinary leadership. Lincoln's capacity for leadership--its origins, its evolution, its challenges--is explored by a master storyteller.
