Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever
by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard
I received this book through a goodreads giveaway which I signed up for without noting it was authored by Bill O'Reilly (who I can't stand). I should also point out that I've never studied Lincoln's assassination beyond what you learn in a standard history class, so I'm not sure how historically accurate the book is.
However, I've read many books on JFK's assassination, and love a good conspiracy story. And this was a great conspiracy story... a fast-paced, thriller I found quite enjoyable, as well as enlightening. The development of the story (along with Booth's hatred of Lincoln) from the final battles of the Civil War to Lincoln's assassination made for compelling reading, and the details of the (possible?) participants in the conspiracy were intriguing.
Overall it was a solid read, and it definitely makes me want to read more about this assassination.
Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its author.
