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

5.0

I know. I'm just as surprised as you are, but I really loved is. It was written in a really compelling way. It had such drive that it was difficult to put down. If you are looking for a scholarly, detailed account of the Lincoln assassination, this is not the right book for you. But, if you are looking to see this familiar story told in a fast-paced and exciting way then give it a shot. It's not without its faults. I'm sure it simplifies things for the sake of good story-telling. I also thought the implications about Stanton were a little misplaced. The authors mentioned it several times, but never really made a case for it. Bottom-line this is a great for a quick, engaging take on the Lincoln assassination, but look elsewhere for a strict,in-depth history.
