这是一本可以让卡内基名垂青史的书。他在“人性弱点”系列中所表现出来的智慧与洞察力在这部传记中体现得更为深刻，因为林肯示范了所有卡内基推崇的品质：智慧、善良、优美肆意的文风、坚韧，对正义和自由的信仰和对人类生存困境的深刻理解。所有人都会面对麻烦、痛苦和一些旷日持久的折磨，常人会屈从安逸舒适的欲望来行事；而真正的英雄只做他们认为正确的事，不惜付出巨大的代价和牺牲就要到手的利益。林肯就是这样一位英雄。

An inspiring story，a startling story，a story that Lowell Thomas calls “the most amazing in American history．Here is a Lincoln book that perhaps could not have been wfitmn until today...I know of no other short work on Lincoln which presents so much of him and presents it so unforgettably．”

Let’s skip all the things you’ve read about Abe Lincoln．Forget the eulogies，the official praise and look at the important thing--the man himself．For Lincoln’s personal story is as astoningshing as any in fiction！

Here is the Lincoln few know...his loves，his strange，tomented marriage，his struggles．Here ale the vital，tense，day-by-day relationships with people that changed his life and our country’s future．
