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'Reilly
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 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.
