I enjoy reading Marks a very brief history series, they always make for good reading about just about any subject he covers.The book begins a Lincoln's birth in Kentucky 1809 and follows through right through to his death. This book covers a lot more of his personal and family more so than other book about him.The book outlines everything about his life before and during his presidency and things implemented that changed the county as a whole. This book shows his way of thinking and how he influenced changes that were needed to begin to remove the binding of slavery and racial prejudges in the US.One of my favorite parts of the book talks about how Lincoln became a military leader and how changed strategies to help the north overcome the southern states. One of these tactics used was to allow the enlistment of black soldiers in the union army.This is a very short and brief book, that is informative and it won't bog you down with a lot of unneeded details of Lincoln. Great short read!
