That Spielberg Movie about Lincoln

Professor Thomas DiLorenzo reports:

Thanks to the dozens of emailers who have sent me a link to the "trailer" for Steven Spielberg's upcoming movie about Lincoln (Out Nov.16). The trailer says the book is based on the book by the confessed plagiarist Doris Kearns-Goodwin. I reviewed the book here several years ago. From all indications the movie will be the typical extraordinarily misinformational whitewash. That's how I would describe the other sychophantic books Goodwin has written about Lyndon Johnson and the Kennedys. She is essentiallly a museum-quality specimen of a "court historian." Her book Team of Rivals, on which the movie is said to be based, is the usual lame-excuse-for-everything treatment of Dishonest Abe. Like almost all other books on the subject, it reads like a defense lawyer's brief for The War Crimes Trial of Abraham Lincoln.
