Syd, May 7, 2008

Anyone interested in Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, their relationship and the impact it had on World War II, must read this book.

Lincoln's Sanctuary: Abraham Lincoln and the Soldiers' Home by Matthew Pinsker
Lincoln's Sanctuary: Abraham Lincoln and the Soldiers' Home

Syd, July 18, 2007

A little known part of the Lincoln presidency, before Camp David we had a summer White House in Washington--The Soldier's Home.
Matthew Pinsker has written a readable and worthy contribution to our understanding of Lincoln, the man and his family, during a time of crisis for our nation.

A must read for both layman and scholar.
