Quotes

  • “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 résumé.

    - 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 is a hugely entertaining, heart-stopping read.

    - Vince Flynn, author of American Assassin

  • If Grisham wrote a novel about April 1865 . . . it might well read like Killing Lincoln.

    - Peter J. Boyer, Newsweek

  • [Killing Lincoln] delivers a taut, action-packed narrative with cliff-hangers aplenty.

    - The Christian Science Monitor

  • [Killing Lincoln] is nonfiction, albeit told in white-knuckled, John Grisham-like style.

    - New York Post

    " This book was an interesting read. It was written more like a historical novel than a non-fiction book, which is probably why it was easy to breeze through. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the topic. I'm sure there are many more well-researched books on Lincoln's assassination but for anyone with a more casual interest in history, this is worth the read. "

    " This book was great reading! It told the story of Abe Lincoln's assassination in great detail. While reading it I learned many new facts. If students were interested, or learning about the Civil War or President Lincoln I would definitely add this book to their reading list. The chapters are short, there are picture throughout the book, and it is loaded with facts. This book is a great tool to use in a classroom. "
