An eloquent work. Its authority comes from both its esthetic--photographs speak more powerfully today than paintings--and from the sophistication with which Mr. Freedman's text combines personal and public lives into a human portrait of a politician honorably confronting the most vexing issues of his era. From the opening page, which depicts Lincoln in beak-nosed profile...to the homely inventory of the assassinated President's pockets...this biography feels astonishingly real. |
