ReviewsThis short audiobook is like a crash course on one of the pivotal moments in our nation's history...Bill O'Reilly, of The O'Reilly Factor , is an animated reader, as you might expect., "In this fast-paced, enthralling narrative that unfolds more like a true-crime thriller than scholarly analysis, O'Reilly and Dugard offer an account of the events that led up to, surrounded, and unfolded in the aftermath of Lincoln's assassination...O'Reilly's sonorous tone and flair for the dramatic add tremendously to the work's theatrical value. Recommended for O'Reilly devotees," Library Journal , starred review "This short audiobook is like a crash course on one of the pivotal moments in our nation's history...I especially enjoyed the details that focused on the personalities of Lincoln, his wife, Booth, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee and other key figures in this story...Bill O'Reilly, of The O'Reilly Factor , is an animated reader, as you might expect." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram "As should be expected from a pro broadcaster, O'Reilly's delivery is right on the money" The State Journal-Register "As a history major, I wish my required reading had been as well written as this truly vivid and emotionally engaging account of Lincoln's assassination. And as a former combat infantry officer, I found myself running for cover at the Civil War battle scenes. This is the story of an American tragedy that changed the course of history. If you think you know this story, you don't until you've read Killing Lincoln . Add historian to Bill O'Reilly's already impressive resume."Nelson DeMille, author of The Lion and The Gold Coast " Killing Lincoln is a must read historical thriller. Bill O'Reilly recounts the dramatic events of the spring of 1865 with such exhilarating immediacy that you will feel like you are walking the streets of Washington, DC, on the night that John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln.

  • This wan't just about the assassination.

    very good, lots of detailed information about Lincoln, Grant and other aspects of the Civil War. Lots of detail on not only Lincoln but also the war, so you gain knowledge of what was going on around Lincoln and the weight he bore making decisions. This wan't just about the assassination. Also, the book was well read by O'Reilly.

  • Great history!

    I got this book as an audio book. which I very much enjoy. It was read by Bill O'Reilly, himself. He did a very good job, and I only had one issue with it. He spoke many times of the cavalry, which he mispronounced as Calvary, which has a very different meaning, of course. If you can overlook this one error, which was repeated very many times, you will greatly enjoy the experience.
