The Best New Books on Lincoln?

This is a list from American Heritage.

I'm most intrigued by the Kaplan book because Lincoln was, primarily, whether as a lawyer or a politician, a writer. He was, from what I know, the best writer among our presidents. His ability to use language to, by turns, convey and interpret information and then, inspire, among other things, is incredible.
