Lincoln too, now that I think about it. Spielberg treatment was enjoyable. But between the 1860 election and the war and the political abolitionist fight you've get a hell of a series there.

Yeah, but like Churchill, Lincoln is also in a ton of movies as a supporting character. I reiterate my view that we should have a modern English-language Garibaldi biopic. What an epic, romantic, theatrical life.

Jasper Ridley's bio is good. Also a good, less doorstoppy one by Alfonso Scirocco, which was originally in Italian.
