Team of Rivals [Basis for 'Lincoln'] - SIGNED by the Author

Goodwin, Doris Kearns

Published by USA Simon and Schuster 2005, 2005

A first edition, first printing published by Simon and Schuster in 2005. A fine book - SIGNED by the Author (to Dugan) - in a near fine clipped wrapper - a touch rubbed to the corners. Steven Spielberg's film Lincoln is directly based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's award-winning book, Team of Rivals. While the book is a broad biography spanning from Lincoln's early political career to his assassination, focusing on his masterful management of his cabinet, the film narrows its focus to the final four months of his life. The movie uses the book's insights into Lincoln's political genius and character, particularly his strategic push and the back-room dealings required to pass the Thirteenth Amendment, which formally abolished slavery. Though the film expands on details not extensively covered in the book, Team of Rivals remains its primary source, providing the foundation for the portrayal of Lincoln's leadership and the complex dynamics within his administration.
