Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.
Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.
It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war.
We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through.
This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.

Unless you're trying to eat a whole meal in them, I suggest you buy.
Size: 12oz - 500 Count, Color: White
Good quality for the price you're paying. Some of the bowls crack a little easily, but they hold up pretty nicely overall. From hot soups to ice cream and cereal or a nice bowl of wet food for your pet. They're a good size for a serving and don't wilt quickly when holding any liquids. And they compost, so it's good wn the carbon footprint since I can use them instead of seeking out cardboard for my garden compost.

So many for so cheap.
Size: 12oz - 500 Count, Color: White
So apparently I’m not great at estimating what 12 ounces really looks like in a bowl. Therefore they were smaller than I was expecting, but since I’m lazy and hate to do dishes, they are perfect for our household. Too small is better than too large in my book , as we have no problem with going back for seconds, which these bowls will definitely hold up for. They are leak proof and a great value for how many you get. The thickness it about what you’d expect although the lip seems slightly thin and bends easily when trying to separate them, which isn’t difficult, but not simple by any means. Again not a deal breaker for our house.

Great product
Size: 12oz - 500 Count, Color: White
These bowls and plates are awesome! We love that they are compostable when we are home but we also use them camping and love that they don’t have the waxy coating so we can throw them in the solo stove and they burn clean. They are also strong and can easily hold a heavy amount of food.
