For those who are interested in the history of America, Killing Lincoln is an excellent book. It does not deal specifically with Lincoln's aaasasination, it also delves into aspects of the Civil War and the lives of those involved with this terrible murder.

Another great book from Bill O'Reilly
O'Reilly's insight into all the details leading up to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln shows the research detail that went into writing this book. I learned things I had never learned in History class from this book.
