"The most revered American president was, during his four years in office, the most reviled. The story of Abraham Lincoln’s presidency is a classic underdog story: a review of Civil War diaries, letters, editorials and recollected remarks reveals an intensity of venom toward Lincoln that is startling, even to a modern reader steeped in the political milieu of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh."

Book Reviews
“This is a tour de force demonstration of writing, reading, and thinking that never lets the reader down. Easily the Lincoln book of the Bicentennial of his birth and the best Lincoln tome I have seen in 15 years of compiling and reviewing Civil War book releases.”
--Dimitri Rotov, The Civil War Book News
“One of the best Lincoln books in years. The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln is beautifully written, with an almost rhythmic cadence at times.”
--Geoff Elliott, The Abraham Lincoln Blog
“My favorite books are works of history that have the sweep and pacing of the finest novels. Larry Tagg has accomplished this, and I highly recommend The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln to anyone who enjoys this type of book.”
--Brent Bourgeois, Author of Left Behind: Jesus in the Age of the American Empire
“Wow! This is a great book! A wonderful and unique look at Lincoln's presidency. The book is full of information, thought provoking and readable. You may find that it is necessary to reread paragraphs to reconcile "our" Lincoln with the "real" Lincoln. I did and knew that I was really learning each time that happened.”
--James Durney, Top 500 Reviewer—Amazon.com
“Truly excellent and authoritative writing on a poorly-understood subject that we take for granted that we know well from childhood.”
--Jonathan Andrew, Amazon.com
“The writing's great and the book reads almost like a novel.”
--ReaderG, Amazon.com
