A TERRIFIC BOOK!

This book was hilarious as well as educational. It's very interesting to see how insults and scandals have changed over time. What was outrageous in Lincoln's day has become ordinary and commonplace now. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history and politics.
