Query: Lincoln, the man, but not the political figure

Herbert does a great job of sharing the real Lincoln and that which contributed to the individual doing a difficult job. Other biographies of this great American tend to only look at selected episodes in Lincoln's life. This book, rather, attempts to share his life more broadly. As a result, you are treated to a view of the man that is more complete and less focused only on the tragedy of the Civil War. So, if you a political historian this book will seem life fluff. If, however, you are an American wanting to learn, this book will do a great job of showing you how much Lincoln suffered during his life and how he dealt with these issues. After reading this book, you should have a whole new appreciation for our most tragic president.
