Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times | 
pick
This was an interesting biography of Lincoln because it approaches his life in the context of the culture of America in the 19th century. The political atmosphere, the fads, the music, the literature and the major social issues of the time are all examined and shown to have influenced Lincoln‘s decisions throughout his life. Somewhat surprising to find that the level of political partisanship and even conspiracy theories was as bad as it is now.
