Doris Kearns Goodwin is the author of the runaway bestseller Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. She won the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II and is also the author of the bestsellers Wait Till Next Year, The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, and Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. She lives in Concord, Massachusetts, with her husband, Richard N. Goodwin.
Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.
On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.
Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.
It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war.
We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through.
This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.

圖書標籤: 曆史 美國 政治 傳記 英文原版 智慧 政敵團隊 獨立戰爭
不隻對林肯的偉大性格有描述,更打動人的部分是那一代人為瞭追求時代理想所錶現齣的寬容、堅守甚至是激進和奸詐。但是曆史和邏輯有一些弱。不明白為什麼林肯突然就從溫和派變成堅決要取消奴隸製。很多戰爭也是,就這樣成功瞭或者敗瞭,太多著墨於人物性格和人際關係的描寫,但是曆史和邏輯的欠缺會讓人物刻畫的不能被信服。
評分真實的曆史比虛構的電視劇更有意思
評分林肯當之無愧美國曆史上最偉大總統之一.
評分偉大的人,偉大的包容心。發怒生氣的時候告訴自己不要輕易下結論,永遠都能穿著對手的鞋、客觀地去評價對手。這是讀完這本書最大的感受和感動。我們生活在一個浮躁的社會,我們似乎永遠都是那麼匆忙、急切、武斷地下著結論、做著決定,是不是應該放慢一點腳步,多想想?
評分這本書讓我明白瞭一個道理:即使是總統,能直接密切領導的也不超過五個人。用好人纔,讓他們去領導更多的人,是政治傢的基本素養。大包大攬,絕不是能力的體現。 我心目中美國曆史上最偉大的總統,沒有之一。
