I was able to obtain a copy of this book when it was free selection.  That's good because there was no preview of the book available.Before I ordered the book, I did an online search regarding the lost letters.  The author did "find" the lost letters so I had assumed that they would be in this "book".  Not so.  Further, if you had no prior knowledge of Robert Lincoln, then this would not provide enough information to truly understand either Mary Lincoln's alleged insanity or what Robert Lincoln was attempting to do.I did have some knowledge of Robert Lincoln and his career and I was aware of this incident with his mother.  I had hoped to have a more thorough understanding of Mary but this book didn't provide any more of an understanding than what I already had.It's a short read, the formatting is done well and if there were any typos they flew over my head.  I'm disappointed that the actual letters weren't included and not enough of the back story was provided to put what was presented in context.
