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 Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of incredibly bloody 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. 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 Theater. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country`s most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a brilliant but enigmatic 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. With an unforgettable cast of characters, vivid historical detail, and page-turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller.

A must read. This is a great look at a great man's last days. If you like history or suspence genre, you will love this book.
I very rarely read non-fiction, but this books makes me wonder why.Approach to what has no doubt been written about 1000's of times different and makes book hard to out down. Definitely learned things I never knew before. O'Reilly at his best!
I bought this book for my husband and he can't put it down ! He says it is a very easy read and keeps his interest. As soon as he is done reading it, I am going to read it
This book was the best I ever read. It was incredibly interesting and never boring. I felt like I was reading an auto-biography. I could not put the book down,
Killing Lincoln is an excellent book. Reads like a novel. Keeps your interest and it is a true account of Lincoln's last days. Excellent for History Buffs. I highly recommend the book to all.
This is another book that my husband wanted for his birthday, not only is my hubby a Glenn Beck fan, but a Bill O'Reilly fan as well. Guess I scored a few extra brownie points this year, getting him both books (per his request)..... for his Birthday!!!
This is a book which would be good for all ages - say 8-10 and up - to read, depending on reading ability. As always, we are trusting the author to have done appropriate research so that we can trust what is being written - and I do. Whatever your 'political persuasion' I believe this is a book that you would enjoy.
Good book . Everyone should read it. Great for kids 12 and up.
So nice to be able to find new and popular books so quickly at Overstock. I will be back.
Enjoyed the book. So much information about the attitudes of the people of both sides then.
