4.0 out of 5 stars "Team of Rivals", July 14, 2009
By Ralph D. Hermansen (Lake Isabella, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Doris Kearns Goodwin is a skilled author and an artist with words. She takes you on a magical journey with a time-travel machine. In her book, "Team of Rivals", she took me back to the early 19th century in the rugged days of backwoods Illinois. I see young Abe Lincoln, having lost his mother and sister to tragic illnesses, develop a stoic, yet warm, personality. He wanted an education, but his father worked him mercilessly. When a friend loaned him a book, he was overwhelmed with joy. What a striking contrast to the bored, overindulged, youth of today. We see young Lincoln hone his political skills and wrest the presidential nomination from the frontrunner. We see President Lincoln thrust into a brutal civil war that he had hoped to avoid. Doris Kearns Goodwin paints the scenes and guides you through the story. Sometimes, she puts me not where I want to be, but where she wants me to be. I sometimes mentally protest, but she is the driver and she is a skillful one at that. I would travel with her again without a second thought.

President Obama was influenced by this book and Lincoln's great abilities. He also filled his cabinet with his main rivals. Obama, like Lincoln, has extraordinary interpersonal skills and wisdom. Read this book and see the world as our new president sees it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was a new reader, October 26, 2009
I was not a big history book reader lately being 15 years out of college even though I was a history major. This was a wonderful book, very informative and easy to read. I am reading all of her books now!!

4.0 out of 5 stars From a Pro, September 16, 2009
Ms. Kearns has become a specialist on everything, every field, in the world. She can be seen on Public TV and all historical programs. I am amazed at her versatility. This book proves that she does work on research without end. It's nice for a girl of her background up North to have become a Walter Cronkite for us females and explain things in simple language everyone can understand. More power to her!
