Recommending other books about President Lincoln

For a different look at President Lincoln, I recommend Lincoln's God How Faith Transformed a President and a Nation By Joshua Zeitz (published May 2023).
Brief summary: Lincoln’s spiritual journey from spiritual skeptic to America’s first evangelical Christian president believer—a conversion that changed both the Civil War and the practice of religion itself.

Have you read one or more books about President Lincoln that you would like to recommend, whether fiction or nonfiction?

I recommend ‘Killing Lincoln’ by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. They also wrote a PG aversion for school aged children, ‘Lincoln’s Last Days’ which I had my kids read at the same time. It was a great family project.
