Finally finished this while watching the Celtics vs Pacers series. While it was informative, the whole thing felt extremely vendettaesque and was so repetitive I almost quit a few times. My completist nature wouldn‘t allow it though.

I don‘t read much nonfiction but all three of my most recent have been life stories and history. Started this one the other day. #gettingmylearnon
“Lincoln has become such an American icon that when one delves into the historical literature, one discovers that much of the Lincoln historiography is not so much an attempt to explain history as to devise rationalizations or excuses for Lincoln's behavior.” [page 19]
A most interesting read.
