Read a lot of books about Lincoln. The Gore Vidal biography is a good one. Captures the complexity of the man.

I haven't read that biography, but most of them are uncritical and are written by the same sort that began the Lincoln idolatry just after his death, sycophants all.
The most recent definitive book on Lincoln the politician is the one by Thomas Dilorenzo, professor at Loyola Maryland.
