Lincoln the Unknown
Dale Carnegie wrote this book in 1932 as a biography of the great Abraham Lincoln. It was published in 1959 by Dale Carnegie and Associates and is now given out as a prize in the Dale Carnegie course. Dale said that he studied many books written about the former president of the USA, but he still felt that more needs to be written. And so he wrote about his qualities and career in a summarised and easy-to-read version so that the average busy person may read.
The book is a concise story of a man who rose from nothing to greatness, from a poor boy to becoming the president of one of the greatest countries on earth. Since he wrote the book when there were still people alive who knew Lincoln, he got direct reports and interviews from them. The book talks about the life of the 16th president of the USA and focuses on his childhood, the disorganization that happened in the Union forces in the Civil War, and also the small moments that defined the man behind the legend. It’s an interesting read.
