Summary: LINCOLN AND BOOTH
Comment: While not always an exciting read, LINCOLN AND BOOTH will give the reader lots to ponder regarding the various characters surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Author H. Donald Winkler has done extensive research and provides lots of insight into the major and minor players in the assassination of President Lincoln and the subsequent investigation. Winkler is obviously passionately interested in his subjects and some of his revelations are shocking. Were certain officials in the US Government actually Confederate sympathizers? Was Lincoln's Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, part of the conspiracy? Stanton rushed to prosecute and execute 4 conspirators while ignoring others who played important roles in the conspiracy. Did he refuse clemency to the first female executed by the US government knowing she may have only been a minor player in the conspiracy? Did the assassination involve more than a handful of conspirators or does the path lead back to the White House and even the Confederate government? His research is extensive and there is plenty of fuel for thought but no conclusive answers the mystery of the conspiracy. Stories of missing documents and diaries fuel the conjecture. The suggestion that there was a much larger conspiracy is overwhelmingly strong. LINCOLN AND BOOTH is well worth a read for anyone interested in this fascinating period of history.
