Rating:  - if you only read one book on the lincoln assassination--make it this one
this is , in my opinion, the definative book on the lincoln assassination, and the escape of john wilkes booth. not only does the author give a clear and concise accounting, he takes us out of the vacuum and explains the minute details of the very knotted relationships between the conspirators, and the links of the confederate underground to canada and back. there is no mistaking the intention of any one of the people involved. he also establishes the money trail that funded booth. im surprised that ...

Rating: - You Feel You Are There
Without a doubt this is the most accurate accounting of Mr. Booth and Mr. Lincoln leading up to and after April 14th, 1865. Ed Steers, Jr. did his research well and has the talent to present the story in an enjoyable fashion. The final page tells it all. A must read.
Rating: - Superb account of Assassination Plot against Lincoln
Edward Steers wrote one of the best accounts of Lincoln Assassination in recent history.

He also take study to Lincoln's ... Read More

The book is pretty good. The beginning is good and I liked all the photos that were included in the book. But there are two reasons why I couldn't give this ... Read More
Rating: - Well Documented Facts and Myth Busters: Excellent Readable Book
Steers write one of the most accurate and detailed books on the Lincoln assassination. He provides a history of the times when the "black flag" of warfare was raised after the Union's infamous Dahlgren raid that was part of a two prong attack on Richmond. The mission was to free prisoners and disrupt Richmond and allegedly included plans to kill Davis and his cabinet. This controversial raid, As Steers points out, may have raised the ante of warfare without rules as the Confederates start their own controversial ... Read More
