Lincoln by David Herbert Donald, read here by James Naughton, is one of the most highly acclaimed biographies of our 16th President yet. Thousands of Lincoln biographies have been written, but this one is exceptional in its portrayal of Lincoln as a consummate politician whose skills were honed by the nasty infighting in the Illinois state house, as a man whose ambition was strong enough to drive him to take risks and to overcome repeated setbacks, and as the man whose powerful rhetoric gave voice and meaning to America's gravest crisis. For David Herbert Donald, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for biography, this is the culmination of 50 years of scholarship; for listeners, this is a splendid chance to come closer to understanding one of our most admired, most elusive Presidents.
