Manhunt

the Twelve-day Chase for Lincoln's Killer
Nov 21, 2012Keogh rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
An outstanding account of the assassination and its aftermath. Swanson has a compelling style as a writer, detailing the various aspects of the attack masterminded by Booth meant to decapitate the government. What went right and wrong is explored, as are various aspects of the chase that followed as Booth and one of his men evaded the law. Pretty much required reading for anyone interested in the Civil War.
