With lively, narrative-driven text and plenty of primary source material neatly woven through, these entries in the Assassins' America series profile presidents and their assassins, offer illuminating context, and consider how those assassinations affected the trajectory of U.S. history. With a detailed description of events, President Lincoln's Killer helpfully ties the Lincoln assassination to the failure of the Restoration and the consequent necessity of the twentieth-century civil rights movement. Engagingly written with an emphasis on high drama and characterization, these will definitely appeal to readers who favor fiction, though they'll come away with plenty of facts at the same time.
