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

4.0

While I would suspect that O'Reilly takes some liberties with the narrative to make the story flow, I still love this series for the sheer fact that it engages me in history - it brings me to Ford's theater, to Appamattox, to the swamps of Virginia where Booth hid out and died. It humanizes what we tend to only study in small snippets in school, and brings to life real events with real people that we otherwise probably wouldnt discover. I look forward to continuing this series!
