A riveting historical narrative of the heart-stopping events
surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first
work of history from mega-bestselling author Bill O''ReillyThe
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.
