As a Yankophile I was so glad to at last see a worghy detailed analysis of Abraham Lincoln's entire life and achievements. I had felt a little let down by the previous Hollywood movie as it focussed on such a narrow part of his life, albeit it was a well made movie. This however takes us from boy through manhood through to his untimely death and is honest in discussing every aspect of his character, his strengths and weaknesses all which made him so human. The entire cast are quality actors and are convincing aided by experts who comment on events throughout. This is what quality television is all about and is unmissable for all lovers of US history. Lincoln is one of my heroes and in my opinion is not just the greatest US President but one of the greatest human beings to have ever lived!
