Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Simon and Schuster; 944 pages
"Doris Kearns Goodwin tells the story of how Lincoln assembled his cabinet with former political foes. Readers get to know each of the men, their views and prejudices and why Lincoln chose each of them to serve on perhaps the most important cabinet in American history. Even though we already know the ending, the author weaves a tale that keeps you turning the pages. You can almost feel the grief of the country when Lincoln fell.
Lincoln was the president in a time of dividing viewpoints. By filling his cabinet with political foes, he was able to use discussions and arguments as a way to communicate his message to the general public. I think we can all learn that we're not going to agree on everything, but that sometimes helps us understand who we really are, better state our opinions and ultimately grow as individuals."
