Eva,

This should be an interesting book. Harold spoke about this topic at this year's Lincoln Forum Symposium (yes, yes I know I need to get back to that thread and do a summary of those talks - I will when a get a chance to dedicate a little more time ) and it sounded very interesting.

I agree with Gene, I too have thoroughly enjoyed Harold's books (the ones I have read of his rather large catalog). Moreover, Harold is a great guy. Very approachable and easy to talk to.

Here is a link to an interview with Harold about this book.

The book is in my to read stack but judging from the size of the stack at may be a while before I get to it.
