"An elegant, incisive study....Goodwin has brilliantly described how Lincoln forged a team that preserved a nation and freed America from the curse of slavery" (James M. McPherson, The New York Times Book Review). Team of Rivals was the basis for the 2012 film, "Lincoln," directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Daniel Day-Lewis; and went on to win two Academy Awards.
