Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin

History/Biography/Politics
An enormously (757 pages) worthwhile read. It felt like a privilege to read this well-researched study of the political genius of Abraham Lincoln made more obvious through fascinating side-trips into the lives of his cabinet members and their families. Goodwin seemed to have real insight into the personal motivations of Lincoln and what eventually made him such a great man for the ages.
