"Loathing Lincoln: An American Tradition From the Civil War to the Present"

[Gene C]

I wish these editorial commentators would quit all the fancy analogies, the lengthy run on sentences, just tell us if it is well written and if arguments are properly presented and well documented, or just tell us if the book is a bunch of horse manure or not; anything else I need to add to my run on sentence?

I wonder if the author of this book takes the approach and tone presented in the editorial reviews. If so, I doubt I would enjoy it.
Personally, I am more interested in Lincoln's reaction to the just and unjust criticism he received, and the impact it had on him and the politics of his day.
