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.

这本书让我明白了一个道理:即使是总统,能直接密切领导的也不超过五个人。用好人才,让他们去领导更多的人,是政治家的基本素养。大包大揽,绝不是能力的体现。 我心目中美国历史上最伟大的总统,没有之一。
评分很赞的一部书,稍长,请感兴趣的朋友耐心阅读。以林肯从政生涯中的各位对手同僚作为描述的线索,不由得感叹这位传奇总统的包容力,政治智商,胆识以及普通人也一样有的弱点。托尔斯泰最后的评述将林肯的传奇的人的一生总结的非常到位。五星推荐!
评分几乎成为神的人,又那么的风趣幽默。不过……作者的溢美之词太多反而略显无趣。
评分政治的天才。最让人着迷的是在获取了最大政治声望之后对法律的尊重,不遗余力地推动宪法修正案,给黑人自由法律上的确认,而不是道德上的。

我们在读历史人物传记的时候,经常感觉的是人物的高大、传奇、和不可思议的成就。Goodwin的这本书引人入胜地描写了一个立体化的林肯。 我们可以看到在面对生活的窘迫、亲人的离世、强大的敌人、重要的历史关头等情况下,林肯周围实实在在的环境变化、人物观点、决策的...
评分 评分by严搏非 年节假日,在家看了一部电影:《林肯》。这部电影是根据多丽丝·科恩斯·古德温的著作改编的,书已有中文版,中文译名为《林肯与劲敌幕僚》。去年拜一位好友特别推荐,翻过一遍,所获甚多,没想到现在有了如此精彩的一部电影。这部电影如此迷人,竟断断续续看了三遍...
评分不知道中文版怎么样,我看的英文版。非常好看。看完全书,震惊于: 1、林肯天才的演讲和说服能力。他的话往往一语打动人心,直指关键。如:A house divided against itself can not stand. 2、林肯超高的情商,对其他人的立场和情感异于常人的敏锐。这与上一条是对应的。 3...
评分对于中国人来说,林肯这个名字是一个容易被符号化,又因为符号化而容易被莫名曲解的人物。很多时候,他被塑造成为废除奴隶制的英雄,是将民主与自由赋予更多人的伟岸之人。通常,被符号化到这份上,肯定会有人要来给你“揭示真相”,比如林肯废除奴隶制是为了赢得战争的功利之...
