Abraham Lincoln: A Life

I'm delighted to report that my 82nd audiobook, Abraham Lincoln: A Life by Michael Burlingame, was published yesterday on Audible.com. As with all of my titles, if you would like a free review copy, send me a message and I'll send you a promo code.

This book was published as a two volume set in 1988 and quickly became recognized as a definitive piece of Lincoln scholarship. It's very well-written and accessible, so the author and his associate Jonathan White decided to abridge it from over a million words to 300,000. It's still the longest audiobook I've ever narrated; it came out to 33 hours. I enjoyed every minute of it. It feels like this is the book I have learned my craft over the past ten years to do.

What a man. What a story. What a book.
