Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard

4.0

---

Bill narrates this like a thriller instead of the usual history and I couldn't stop listening. Learning how everything went down kind of blew me away. I did find fault with this narration, though. While most did come across as factual, as expected in a history text, I had to wonder at the bits where he said someone 'hoped' or 'thought', without mentioning how that was known. In many instances, he alludes to the person mentioning it later, or that someone would later tell a reporter, etc. But in a few areas, we are left to wonder how he knew what someone was thinking or how he could be sure someone was still hoping. Other than that, I thought it was awesome.
