Title: Hands down the best Lincoln assassination book ever written
Review: I have read many books about the Lincoln assassination and Booth's escape through Maryland and into Virginia (e.g., Manhunt, The Day Lincoln was Shot, American Brutus, They Have Killed Papa Dead, We Saw Lincoln Shot, Come Retribution, O'Reilly's book, His Name is Still Mudd, A. Lincoln: His Last 24 Hours, etc.) and Dr. Steers' book is by far the most complete and readable history of this fascinating and sad event in our history that I have come across. He has a mastery of the subject that is unrivaled, and his skill in weaving together all of the vast information and characters associated with this story is wonderful. I would strongly suggest that anyone who is interested in reading about the Lincoln assassination read "Blood On The Moon" first and then read some of the other books (which are also good, but just not the quality of Dr. Steers.) He is quite simply the master on this subject. Just my two cents.
