Summary:Books concerning politics are reviewed. One example is Lincoln Tells a Joke: How Laughter Saved the President (and the Country) by Kathleen Brewer and Paul Brewer. Lincoln faced enormous challenges personally and politically. In this readable biography, the authors complement key events with quips that demonstrate his keen sense of humor and love of language.
