Doris Kearns Goodwin is the author of the runaway bestseller Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. She won the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II and is also the author of the bestsellers Wait Till Next Year, The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, and Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. She lives in Concord, Massachusetts, with her husband, Richard N. Goodwin.
Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.
On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.
Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.
It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war.
We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through.
This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.
我们在读历史人物传记的时候,经常感觉的是人物的高大、传奇、和不可思议的成就。Goodwin的这本书引人入胜地描写了一个立体化的林肯。 我们可以看到在面对生活的窘迫、亲人的离世、强大的敌人、重要的历史关头等情况下,林肯周围实实在在的环境变化、人物观点、决策的...
评分最先想读《Team of Rivals》,是因为听说是斯皮尔伯格要以本书为蓝本,拍摄林肯的传记。之后,我又在The Colbert Report上看到Doris Goodwin的采访,觉得这位作者颇为有趣,图书也大卖,此书可以一看。后来我计划撰写美国史和伟大总统,此书也就成为了工作书之一。 本来,这将...

评分by严搏非 年节假日,在家看了一部电影:《林肯》。这部电影是根据多丽丝·科恩斯·古德温的著作改编的,书已有中文版,中文译名为《林肯与劲敌幕僚》。去年拜一位好友特别推荐,翻过一遍,所获甚多,没想到现在有了如此精彩的一部电影。这部电影如此迷人,竟断断续续看了三遍...
这本书让我明白了一个道理:即使是总统,能直接密切领导的也不超过五个人。用好人才,让他们去领导更多的人,是政治家的基本素养。大包大揽,绝不是能力的体现。 我心目中美国历史上最伟大的总统,没有之一。
评分伟大的人,伟大的包容心。发怒生气的时候告诉自己不要轻易下结论,永远都能穿着对手的鞋、客观地去评价对手。这是读完这本书最大的感受和感动。我们生活在一个浮躁的社会,我们似乎永远都是那么匆忙、急切、武断地下着结论、做着决定,是不是应该放慢一点脚步,多想想?
评分瑜不掩瑕,还是好书
评分此书有中文版,叫做《林肯与劲敌幕僚》。评分还挺高。Goodwin比较四位同期的政治人物,叙述有点冗长,不过一点也不难读。每个政治人物所经历的每件事每一环,没有什么偶然,也没有什么必然。但无论是谁的经历,虽然那个时期自由限制少,都如同Netfilx的政治剧纸牌屋的剧名,just a house of cards
评分尽管政治领域的人都能找出些黑历史,但是林肯,在这个领域,依然是品德称得上高尚之人。而他的人格魅力,政治技巧,以及政治远见(如在南北战争后对南方的态度和重建的策略)更足以使得他跻身人类历史上顶级政治家之列。
