I think it was last month's Smithsonian magazine that had a gripping long article on a thwarted assassination attempt.

Not long ago I read Lincoln for President by Bruce Chadwick. It is not a biography, but focuses on the election of 1860. It really reveals a lot about what a master politician Lincoln was, the coalition that he had to put together to win that election, and his views regarding slavery.

He was definitely a very good politician. The thing about Lincoln is that I believe he would have succeeded as president no matter what era he was in. He had a way of bringing people of divergent beliefs together for the common good.
