RE: A new Lincoln book, The Broken Constitution
David,
If you can show me how it is humanly possible for an opinion to be free of bias, then you are a better man than me. I decided long before Wilentz's review was published that I was going to avoid Feldman's book given his article in the Times. I sold books for a living for over 20 years and not once have I ever told someone not to buy a book because I didn't like it. Not even the dreck that comes from Fox. However, I have always told someone what I felt if asked. One is honest and helpful. The other reeks of bias.
Best
Rob
