Most people know little more about the US President Abraham Lincoln than how he met his end - assassinated in a box at the theatre by a gunman. But as Booker Prize-winning novelist Thomas Keneally shows in this short but enthralling biography, Lincoln's origins, his early life, his self-taught lawyer's career and how he became a politician and ultimately US President, is an epitome of the American Dream. If Lincoln - without the benefits of class, wealth or contacts - could reach the pinnacle of US political life then so might anyone else. Keneally has long been absorbed by Lincoln's life and letters, upon which he draws for this biography.
