Hands down the #1 Best Book I Ever Read

Non-Fiction - read approx. 10 years ago

This fascinating, unputdownable book in highly engrossing, suspenseful, heartbreaking, and educational. This book painted a picture of the desperation and horror of this war (or any war) like nothing I'd seen or read before. The utter destruction of towns, villages, cities -- how desperate the lives of the women and children not fighting -- shocking and heartbreaking.

Abraham Lincoln has always been history's most intriguing character for me. His presiding over this brother-against brother, extremely challenging and bloody war is a testament to his courage and inner strength that would have broken most men.
