Review of 'Lincoln at Gettysburg' on 'Goodreads'

Great book, but narrowly focused. This is about the speech and its context, not about the impact of the speech after it was given. That last part is taken for granted, which feels to me like a glaring oversight: it is hard to talk about the greatness of the speech without understanding how it was used and discussed after it was given. Other than that, was informative and moved briskly - worth the read.
