Query: the literary genius of doris kearns goodwin

a remarkable work, a definitive book on a self made man who by force of his native intuition and personality, enabled abraham lincoln to leap frog many wealthier and experienced politicos to the presidency. ms kearns goodwin, by choosing to view the lincoln presidency from this perspective has demonstrated lincoln's unique ability to to persuade/cajole (or threaten ?) his cabinet to work as a team - a team under the greatest of pressures. this is a seriously good book . john lawlor , tralee ireland
