Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Recommended by 19 sources.
“Goodwin weaves letters and diaries into an immersive story, dropping you into the 1860s surrounded by ambitious characters jockeying for power. Her strength is making Lincoln’s political acumen—his ability to read men, soothe egos, and wait—feel urgent and instructive. The downside: at nearly 900 pages, the chronicle of cabinet infighting can become a slog, and the near-hagiographic tone may grate if you want a more critical lens.”
