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

4.0

I thought I had a pretty good understanding of Lincoln's killing, but it turns out I didn't until I read this book! It's really interesting and contains vivid details about the assassination of President Lincoln. I'm glad I read this after seeing the movie "Lincoln" because it helped me place faces and people in his administration and family. A very good read that will leave you feeling like you have better insight into this President, the country at the end of the Civil War and his killer, John Wilkes Booth. I also suggest seeing the movie "The Conspirator" after reading the book; it goes into detail about the trial of Mary Surratt.
