The 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 fulfil
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.
