<p><b>bLOCKBUSTER BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND ANCHOR OF <i>The O'Reilly Factor</i> recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history -- how one gunshot changed the country forever.</b><br> 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. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased.<br> <b>&quot;If you think you know this story, you don't until you've read <i>Killing Lincoln</i>.&quot;</b> -- <b>Nelson DeMille</b><br> 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. Featuring some of history's most remarkable figures, vivid detail, and page-turning action, <i>Killing Lincoln</i> is history that reads like a thriller.</p>
