I find every DK book is excellent, this bio of Abraham Lincoln is no different. DK is known for their travel books, but they do a just job on this bio. Not much historically new but is a great quick overview! Well-read Civil War Historians would find there is nothing new, but it is a well-edited and a beautiful book. It's only 128 pgs long, 7-1/2" x 5" in size. But truly worth adding to any extensive Civil War library. I'm happy to add it to my library. Extremely perfect for history class for pre-high school, and high school. Love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2017

Lincoln, like Washington (whose DK Biography I also have and recommend), is a much-loved and little-understood figure. This is a very enjoyable way to get to 'know' Lincoln. It's not six hundred pages, but it tells you what you need to know if you want to understand him, from his impoverished childhood to his amazing rise to the Presidency and his legacy. It's an informative, easy and riveting read! And the book has a timeline at the back of the most important events in his life, which is nice.
