Summary: The character of a country, and its President, are revealed -- as a traumatic war winds down, and eerie events presage Abraham Lincoln's own end...
A great portrait of a much mythologized President, with wonderful historical tidbits without being proselytizing or overtly educational -- just masterfully done drama. As with all Quicksilver works, it features stellar acting, astonishing production values and a tight script. Highly recommended.
