February 2009 marks the bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. There have been many, many new wonderful books coming out this year about him. One such book is Abraham Lincoln: a life by Michael Burlingame. It is an immensely thorough work, that covers everything you could possibly want to know about the 16th president of the United States.
James L. Swanson of Publisher's weekly raves "This book supplants [Carl] Sandburg and supersedes all other biographies. Future Lincoln books cannot be written without it, and from no other book can a general reader learn so much about Abraham Lincoln. It is the essential title for the bicentennial."
Check it out today!
