Jim's Review
🐛
Lincoln assembled a cabinet of people who hated him and turned them into his greatest allies. That's a power move even a bookworm can respect. Goodwin makes 19th-century politics read like a thriller — the rivalries, the backroom deals, the sheer emotional intelligence of Lincoln. Jim ugly-cried at the ending even though he knew how it ended. Five worms for the greatest leadership book ever disguised as a biography.
