Abraham Lincoln was odd, physically.

He was tall, homely, and gaunt. He had long limbs, big feet, a high voice... and was constipated. Three of his four sons died before age 20.

Why?

His friends talked about it. They couldn't figure it out.
Physicians have written about it. They didn't figure it out.

Now, in the most original and captivating Lincoln book in 125 years, a Johns Hopkins-trained cardiologist finds the elusive -- and disquieting -- diagnosis.

The diagnosis leads to surprising conclusions:

• Lincoln did not have Marfan syndrome -- he had something worse.
• Three of his sons, and probably his mother, were likewise afflicted.
• Lincoln was not depressed.
• He was not being ground down by the rebellion and by his office.
• Lincoln would have died from cancer within a year, had he not been shot.

The Physical Lincoln is a fascinating Sherlock Holmes examination of Lincoln family photographs, eyewitness accounts, lifemasks, and drawings.

It explains each clue's significance in plain, non-technical language, and discovers features of Lincoln that historians and physicians have never before noticed.

And in the process it brings you closer to Lincoln the man than any other book does.

The author is John Sotos, MD, the country's leading Presidential health historian and an expert in unusual signs of disease.

The Physical Lincoln will forever change the way people look at Abraham Lincoln.
