Civil War A good, enjoyable, well presented read, although I could have done with less of the civil war stuff and more on the actual killing of Lincoln. I didn’t need all the buildup, I would have rather more buildup on the plot and players involved in all the assassination attempts rather than the end of the war. I mean, we get the nugget: “incredibly, Years before, Corbett cut off his own testicles with a pair of scissors after experiencing a moment of lust. Booth has now been shot by a man very much like himself: a rebellious fanatic.” Yes, the man who killed John Wilkes Booth did that...tell me more about this guy, not about how Grant pinned down Lee and brought an end to the war. But, good in its own right, still will be seeking out more info on the assassination plot itself. Can anyone recommend a better book more focused on that topic itself?
This material [recently published primary sources] represents virtually all of the primary documentary record of the assassination, and is readily available for anyone wishing to research every aspect of the assassination for less than $200. It is inexcusable not to avail oneself of this essential record in researching and writing about this important event. By their own account, the authors relied on the writing of previous authors, and in doing so perpetuated both a wealth of errors and a number of hoary myths.
