“The standard one-volume biography of Lincoln.” (Washington Post)
“Certainly the most objective biography of Lincoln ever written.” (David Herbert Donald, New York Times Book Review)
The definitive life of Abraham Lincoln, With Malice Toward None is historian Stephen B. Oates's acclaimed and enthralling portrait of America's greatest leader. In this award-winning biography, Lincoln steps forward out of the shadow of myth as a recognizable, fully drawn American whose remarkable life continues to inspire and inform us today.
Oates masterfully charts, with the pacing of a novel, Lincoln's rise from bitter poverty in America's midwestern frontier to become a self-made success in business, law, and regional politics. The second half of this riveting work examines his legendary leadership on the national stage as president during one of the country's most tumultuous and bloody periods, the Civil War years, which concluded tragically with Lincoln's assassination.

At the start of the book the author makes a comment that I totally agree with: historical figures should be judged by the standards of the times that they lived in. Meaning, were Lincoln’s views on race Liberal for the time? Absolutely. Were his views Liberal by today’s standards? No. By today’s standards he’d be judged a racist. But, he took very unpopular stances at the time that lead to the abolition of slavery. He also took actions that preserved the Union. He was the perfect President for the times and one of, if not the best President we’ve ever had.
I really enjoyed the book. I learned so much about the Civil War in this one. Plus, the reader was absolutely perfect for the subject matter.
Great book about a great man

I found the writing and narration to be truly remarkable and entertaining. Lincoln’s “voice” and presence seemed very near and tangible. This was a deeply satisfying communication of a life that defies definition.
Well done!
No exaggeration—a GREAT piece of work!
