Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever by Martin Dugard, Bill O'Reilly
5.0
Growing up, and to this day, Lincoln was my favorite President - for numerous reasons. When I saw that Bill O'Reilly wrote the book "Killing Lincoln," I was a bit apprehensive as I don't always have much stock in the O'Reilly Factor tv program (that being said as a Republican). But, after being recommended the book, I gave in and read it. I couldn't be more pleased to read it.
If you have seen the movie "Lincoln" or read Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals," this will be a great companion read. While the movie focuses on the legislative action of the 13th amendment and the battle leading up to it, Killing Lincoln runs during the same time frame but from the battlefield to the celebration of victory to the tragic death.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for presidential history, as well as individuals who simply want to know more about the first assassination of a US President.
