"As a history major, I wish my required reading had been as well written as this truly vivid and emotionally engaging account of Lincoln's assassination. And as a former combat infantry officer, I found myself running for cover at the Civil War battle scenes.

Synopsis
The mega bestseller that launched a franchise--a riveting history of the heart-stopping events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, A riveting historical narrative of the heart-stopping events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work of history from mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly The iconic anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history--how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into American society. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased. In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington D.C., John Wilkes Booth--charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist--murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country's most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a smart but shifty New York detective and former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth, while federal forces track his accomplices. The thrilling chase ends in a fiery shootout and a series of court-ordered executions--including that of the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. Featuring some of history's most remarkable figures, vivid detail, and page-turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller.

    Approaches President Lincoln's assassination from the murder's viewpoint as well as that of his coconspirators.

    I listened to our local library audio book "Killing Lincoln". Decided it was worth owning the printed version. Was very pleased with the condition of this book. It's about 10 years old by now.

  • Good Book.

    This is one of Bill's better killing series books. I have read almost all of them. I am glad however, that I did find it on eBay for a discounted price. Bill's prices are too much.

  • Amazing information all in one place!

    If you like History- you will love the details in this book! Between the historical references and quotes to the photos and the details- Honestly, I mean we all know how it ends- but do you know HOW it got to that? Or all of the details about the conspiracy that led to it? It will have you on the edge of your seat- and consumed in the world of 1865!
