The iconic anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history―how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into American society. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased.
In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington D.C., John Wilkes Booth―charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist―murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country's most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a smart but shifty New York detective and former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth, while federal forces track his accomplices. The thrilling chase ends in a fiery shootout and a series of court-ordered executions―including that of the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. Featuring some of history's most remarkable figures, vivid detail, and page-turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller.
Pretty good, though not what I expected Overall, I did enjoy this book. The historical research is very impressive, especially the day to day accounts of the events. Also, I really enjoyed how the authors did mention some possibilities of conspiracy because we all know that the theories are out there and it's nice to see where they could possibly originate from. However, I did not see what the point was in spending basically the whole first third of the book detailing battles at the end of the war. I see that they were trying to set it up for showing us how a nation was torn apart and Lincoln was under such stress and so on, but it went on a little too long for my tastes. On the other hand, I also felt that from Lincoln's shooting to the end of the book was a little rushed, maybe due to the first half at least, being pretty slow in my opinion. Overall, I would recommend it to someone interested in history, though probably not to a generic reader. I think a lot of this books claim to fame is it's author and publicity. I enjoyed this book on the whole, but was honestly just expecting a little more page-turning excitement.KILLING LINCOLN- BILL O'REILLY Well Bill does it again! Although I'm reading his books out of order, I still have to say that the writing style is great and I love the way he gives the facts. No games, just the facts mam... I always liked him as a news commentator, who knew he possessed this wonderful trait. I've read 4 of his books so far and I have to say that I was really surprised, because I liked KILLING PATTON, then REAGAN the best. I felt I really walked away with some invaluable information. On to KILLING THE RISING SUN! 🏯😉Good, but not great I've read a couple other of the Bill O'Reilly 'Killing so and so' books. I find them all pretty interesting, and enlightening on topics that I otherwise wouldn't know much about .However, you must keep a grain of salt in mind while reading any of these books. They tend to jump to conclusions, some far-fectched, and you tend to feel a little rushed through the details. This, and all the other "Killing" books are great starter books into the topics, but anyone who is serious about understanding the history of Lincoln and his assassination will know to read elsewhere into more substantiated books.
