RE: A new Lincoln book, The Broken Constitution
I never said you mentioned it, David. It was mentioned in the New York Times article you referred to earlier, which you inexplicably left out of your post. Most of the interviews anyone does for a book is not anything more than a sales pitch that the publisher sets up. The real criticism comes from book reviews.
The book has a limited appeal. The "average: reader isn't going to pick it up. The buyer of the book will be someone who knows something about Lincoln and the Constitution. As to your other point, Lincoln doesn't need to be "defended." Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
