Three books to a desert island

[Eva Elisabeth]

Please excuse me for no sooner more elaborate reply and thanking you for your ideas.

A bio is a "must" IMO, and I find both, Donald's and Thomas', excellent. The first however is just my #1, also due to the advantage of sources.

Thank you, Angela - as far as I could see, Kindle, too, charges 60€ - almost the same as the hardcover (for a mere virtual "thing"!!!) Did I possibly miss the bargain? To read however I would need to print all out like anything virtual beyond one page - just cannot read without some writing utensil in my hand to highlight/comment etc.

Twenty Days - this is one book I'd sure like to have available. The others in consideration because I so often check them for a source, hint or evidence are "JWB Day-by-Day", and "AL- His last 24 Hours", and for general information, Ed Steers' "Assassination Encyclopedia".

In the "Lincoln category", despite a bio, I thought about M. Neely's "A. L. Encyclopedia", and maybe one book on Mary?

Thank you again everyone for your kind and good advice!!!
