A lot is being written about Lincoln. It is as if our
sixteenth president has become a multifaceted character.
Years ago a book was written examining the Leadership
principles of Lincoln. Other aspects of the life of this interesting person
have been discovered. There is a lot to learn from him and the circumstances of
his time period that forced him to bloom.
Lincoln is little known as a foreign-policy president but he
was. It was a learning process and this book walks us through the molding.
He was able to be a
global strategist despite his limitations of not speaking a foreign language or
travel.
This book is not to be seen as a biography but as a study of
the development of his stance concerning the place of America in the foreign
market place.
The author, Peraino, divides the story between Lincoln’s
interaction with six persons in the development of his policy principles.
Everyone is a product
of his era and the interaction between people. No one is really self-made. Life
is friction from which comes a product. Thus it was for Lincoln.
It is a good addition to the full picture of Abraham Lincoln
and should be in anyone’s library who desires to get a complete picture of the
man.
This book was sent to be free from bloggingforbooks.com for
review and inclusion in my book blog. I was not required to give a positive
review. The opinions expressed are my own and not those of the publisher.
