And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle - Jon Meacham - A Short Summary and Review

 

A short summary of And There Was Light:

The story of Lincoln's presidency.

My favorite Abraham Lincoln quote:

"Men are not flattered by being shown that there has been a difference of purpose between the Almighty and them."

Questions to ponder while reading:

Do you admire Lincoln's resolve?

Did you realize there was an attempted coup?

My review:

A detailed look into the life of one of America's best-known presidents.

Surprising facts!

It's a long one. Pace yourself.
