Forced into Glory

Repetitious, full of irrelevant detours, and relentlessly polemical....[T]he book deserves attention, for it contains insights into Lincoln's era and the ways historians have treated the 16th president....Most important, perhaps, Bennett presents compelling evidence of how historians have consistently soft-pedaled Lincoln's racial views.
