Great,
By A Customer
This review is from: With Malice Toward None (Paperback)
Well I needed to read this book for a history book report. The book was interesting but also boring for a 14 year old to read. All of the political stuff but it was still a great book about Lincoln. I learned a lot about him and and how much he must have been stressing while he was President. If you like to read then u might as well read this book.

Well-written and informative,
By David - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: With Malice Toward None: A Life of Abraham Lincoln (Hardcover)
With Malice Toward None is a well-written and informative look at Lincoln's life. I am very selective about the biographies that I spend my time reading because I consider the style of many to be suffocatingly boring. I looked over several on Lincoln, and selected this one. I was pleased with it through the end. The author does not waste space on finding the "flawed" man underneath the legend, which is popular in so many recent biographies. He explains Lincoln's life in a matter-of-fact and readable fashion. One of my favorite parts in the book is the explanation of how the Civil War proceeded and the absolutely essential role Lincoln played. It will give you an insightful look at the politics and history of the time, not to mention an appreciation for how much Lincoln endured before his triumph.

A luxurious reading experience,
By Richard Lawrence Miller, Lincoln author - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: With Malice Toward None: A Life of Abraham Lincoln (Hardcover)
This book generated controversy among Lincoln scholars. The general reading public, however, will probably enjoy both the book's prose and its story. Regardless of whether there is much, or anything, new in the volume, its account of Lincoln is told with flair. Points that disturbed some Lincoln scholars will probably not be noticed by general readers. I read the book before I knew about the dispute, and found the volume enchanting.

Fine Introductory Biography of Lincoln,
By Iris Elaine Lehman "emmabess" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: With Malice Toward None: A Life of Abraham Lincoln (Hardcover)
I am a retired history teacher and I read 'With Malice Toward None' when it was first published and loved it. As a matter of fact, my paperback edition is falling to pieces from re-readings and use and I am now buying the hardback edition. I used portions of the book with my 8th grade American History students and with my high school American History and Advanced Placement American Studies classes. It was a great introduction to Mr. Lincoln, I thought, and an easy and entertaining read according to my students. Mr. Oates has a flair for compelling drama. When the controversy arose over the text, I included the controversy in the discussion of the book with my AP students. I have read many other fine books on Mr. Lincoln by Eric Foner, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and James M. McPherson (to name a few), but Stephen Oates' 'With Malice Toward None' is still my favorite, warts and all.
