"Mr. Lincoln's T-mails is about President Lincoln, Abe Lincoln's use of the telegraph during the Civil War. Up until then, there had been no way for a Commanded in Chief in the United States, or really in any other country in the world, to communicate with his commanders in the field. He was able to see through those telegraphs almost instantaneously whether or not a leader was following his instructions or was just stalling for time and not necessarily doing what he wanted him to do.
Mr. Lincoln's T-mails suffered from a similar problem that I've seen with other books, like Robert Sutton's The No Asshole Rule, where it seems like towards the end, points that were already made continue to be made over and over again; and so it feels like a shorter book that's been extended out for whatever reason.
I would recommend President Lincoln's T-mails to anyone with an interest in American history and anyone that's looking at a fresh perspective on just how brilliant of a leader Abraham Lincoln was. I would give President Lincoln's T-mails four stars out of five. The only reason I do not give it five stars is again, because towards the end of the book it tends to repeats itself and seems like it's drawn out for no apparent reason other than to make a book that's long enough to sell."
