paperback; 512 pages
This book is a well-written and gripping interpretation of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The author discusses many interesting and forgotten facts which call into question the accepted account of John Wilkes Booth as the lone killer of the sixteenth President and suggests that several top-level Government officials in Washington, particularly Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, may have played important roles in the crime and later covered up their involvement. Illustrated with photographs and official Government documents.
