Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard
4.0
I enjoy reading about history and times long past. One of the biggest road-blocks for most people who are interested in history is the dryness of the subject. This historical narrative helps take away some of the "boringness" of many historical texts and that is what makes this book so readable.
It unfolds more like a true-crime novel and does bring up some interesting theories. I did enjoy what Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard accomplished in this book. They took what can be a really dry subject historical fact and made it readily accessable to everyday readers. And books like this awaken curiosity and lead some readers to take additional steps to learn more about subjects like President Lincoln, the Civil War, The Reformation and other historical subjects.
