I remember reading about Abraham Lincoln in history in school and he still remains a towering figure (literally) as he used to in those days. The book is quite a straightforward book, it gives the readers a short life history of the leader and some of his famous quotes and insights with explanations as to what he meant. The chapters are designed to showcase the true character of Lincoln and there is also a draft of one of his most famous speeches.Lincoln was a tenacious person, never giving up and one of those few personalities who can turn any situation into a positive one. He is best remembered as being instrumental in abolishing slavery in the US. This book can be a good introduction for further reading up on this great man. The author has kept it simple and the quotes are truly inspirational and can be easily applied to our lives.
