Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln (ISBN: 9780684824901) Goodwin, Doris Kearns Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Simon & Schuster. 1 Paperback(s), 2006. Book Condition: New. In this Lincoln Prize-winning history, Pulitzer Prize winner Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Abraham Lincoln's stunning political acuity, relating how the prairie lawyer and one-term congressman rose from obscurity to prevail over three gifted and nationally known rivals—New York senator William H. Seward, Ohio governor Salmon P. Chase, and Missouri elder statesman Edward Bates—to become president. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin posits, was the result of a character forged by hard experience, and an extraordinary capacity for empathy toward other men. She goes on to argue that it was this that enabled the new president to install his one-time opponents as key cabinet members, and also to bring in former Democrats Gideon Welles, Montgomery Blair, and Edwin Stanton to create a true team of rivals, which only Lincoln could have then led. Many of these former critics became his most devoted followers, and Seward in particular offered Lincoln a bosom friendship. In many ways a multiple biography of the cabinet, the book also views Lincoln through the women of these powerful political families, including Frances Seward, Fanny Seward, and Kate Chase who, like Mary Lincoln, displayed striking intelligence and political sophistication."Can there be anything new to say about our 16th president? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Goodwin has brilliantly described how Lincoln forged a team that preserved a nation and freed America from the curse of slavery."—NYTBR 916 pgs.
