Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Narrating his own work, Jon Meacham brings a unique authenticity to 'And There Was Light.' His deep understanding of Lincoln’s character imbues the audiobook with a profound emotional depth. The pacing is deliberate yet compelling, allowing ample space for reflection without dragging. Key moments, such as the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation, are delivered with the gravity they deserve. However, some may find the narrative overly focused on Lincoln’s mental state at times, which occasionally detracts from the broader political context. Overall, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in American history or the enduring legacy of one of its most iconic presidents.
