Your review should address the following questions:

–What is the intended audience (high schools, scholars, civil war buffs, general, etc.)?

–What type of evidence does the author use? What are his sources?

–Are his sources valid? Should he have used more or different sources?

–How is the book organized? (Chronologically? Topically?)

–What could he have done differently to improve the book?

–Are there any questions left unanswered after reading this book?

–Where does this book fit into the wide range of books on Lincoln?

Conclude by offering some general remarks on the book, including: would you recommend it—why or why not?
