Bolton was an ideologue and an egomaniac who enjoyed being a bombthrower in the Washington establishment. Like most of the rest of the likeminded neocons, he burned out in his position and created no legacy to implement his ideas once he had been shown the door.

Bolton said, "That's not true about Lincoln." (It is true. Here's a link confirming that. From the National Archives, which I hope will be a credible enough source for you.)

That book is terrific. Doris Kearns Goodwin is still at the top of her game.
