The next gathering of Beebe Library’s book discussion group, Books By the Lake, is on July 15, 2009 when the book group will meet at a group member’s home for a potluck and a discussion of Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.

People may start arriving at 6:00pm for the potluck. The book discussion will begin at 7:30pm.

Please contact the group leader, Leane Ellis, for information on where the group will meet.

Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. NON-FICTION

Goodwin’s perspective offers fresh insights into Lincoln’s leadership style and his deep understanding of human behavior and motivation. The author makes the case for Lincoln’s political genius by examining his relationships with three men he selected for his cabinet, all of whom were opponents for the Republican nomination in 1860: William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, and Edward Bates.
