Abraham Lincoln by Lord Charnwood   Lincoln scholars, recognize this book as an unsurpassed account of our 16th President's unique influence on America.  Writing as an Englishman who recognized Lincoln's special qualities Charnwood's effort is described by Burkhimer as "one of the finest single-volume biographies ever written on Abraham Lincoln.  It has withstood the test of time...." In 2003, Burkhimer's 100 Essential Lincoln Books was published for for collectors and students of Lincoln.   Abraham Lincoln by Lord Charnwood was determined to be one of the 100 essential books on Lincoln.  No collection of Lincoln books is complete without this important study of Lincoln's life. I was surprised to find a brief comment referring to Lincoln's inclusion of rivals in his cabinet, an issue mentioned in today's political environment.   Paperback,  6 x 9 inches, 496 pages, $23.95
