Audio Book Summary

John G. Nicolay was Abraham Lincoln's private White House secretary. With assistant secretary, John Hay, he wrote the two volume definitive biography of Lincoln, "Abraham Lincoln, a Biography." Although this is a condensation by Nicolay of that biography, it is still a sizable work and a fairly thorough treatment of the life of the 16th president of the United States. Summary by John Lieder.

    I appreciated Nicolay's writing which convinced me more than ever before that the Civil War WAS about slavery! My earlier qualms about the real reasons for this lengthy 'family quarrel' were disintegrated by Nicolay. It showed that the "white man's ideals" and standards were behind the need for the black man's freedom. I would now like to read a book showing that the black man has fought for the freedom of other oppressed people, like our American Natives, our South American migrant, our Jewish or Asian people, all citizens American, who have been castigated and demeaned by so many Americans who just did not know what they were doing.

    very informative, although it think it was more about the Civil war than Abranham Lincom himself. Sometimes a bit heavy with too much detail description of the war, it seems to me.
