Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end.

Meacham Is Great
Revisado: 11-01-22
Having read a biography of every American President up through Obama and a half dozen or so biographies of Lincoln - I would sayAnd There Was Light ranks among the best. Perhaps it is because Lincoln’s story is so amazing or his times were so demanding, but this was a “can’t stop listening” audio book. Meacham himself reading it was certainly a plus.
It could also be that the parallels in that age and our own are worth paying attention to.
It is a fabulous book every thoughtful American should read - on both sides of the great political divide.

When a drive-by shooting in Holyoke, Massachusetts, claims the lives of a Puerto Rican drug dealer and a nurse at a neighborhood clinic, the police arrest a black drug dealer. With no death penalty in Massachusetts, the US attorney shifts the double homicide out of state jurisdiction into federal court so that he can pursue the death penalty.

Not good
Revisado: 10-05-22
As a professor of preaching I tell student you can’t get more airplanes in the air than you can safely land. Of all the Audible books I’ve listened to this author could use that advice. More than once I considered quitting and asking for a refund. The initial trial narrative was okay but there were so many hanging issues not resolved and then really disconnected outcomes from the trial. Good novels have a cohesive quality to them. This on failed at every level in that regard.

The White House is the home of the president of the United States, the most guarded, monitored, closely watched person in the world. So how could a US president vanish without a trace? And why would he choose to do so? An unprecedented collaboration between President Bill Clinton and the world's best-selling novelist, James Patterson, The President Is Missing is a breathtaking story from the pinnacle of power.

Typical Patterson
Revisado: 11-19-18
I had hoped that Patterson’s predictable and pedantic prose would be improved with Clinton’s help. But it wasn’t.
