I liked this book because of the detail of the events that lead up to and following the assassination. Lincoln's steadfast mission of reuniting the country, the intrigue and multiple story lines coming together, fragileness of our great country, close proximity of the battles to the Capitol, unbelievable logistics of the intense war, the men and women of great character, and the evil ones too, all made for history so much better than any fiction ever written.

Like being there.

Can't think of one.

Credibility and believability.

The actual killing of President Lincoln. I could actually envision the terrible act as if I were there in the theater.

Want more audio books after this one.

Yes. Packed with anecdotes that put you on the scene.

The Grant and Lee surrender...
The religiousity of Lincoln...too many others to tell.

No.

It made me realize that the tumult and divisiveness of life and politics that we experience today is not new. The impaired human condition goes on.

My first audible. An excellent experience. Thank you!

No, the book told it as it happened.

The most interesting aspect for me was that Oswald's fianc?? was out with Lincoln's son at the time of the killing.
No new shocking facts.

It was like being told a story by a historian.

Yes, it was interesting.

The narrator's voice was quick, but audible and narrated in an even tone, changing only when circumstances dictated, such as a shock, or a death scene. The narrator did not over-act in his tale.

The history and my learning hereto unknown facts.

History as you have never seen it before.

I believe that all school students should be encouraged to read this book, because of the history and importance to the development of our country. I will continue to read Bill O'Reilly.

Facinating, rivoting, detailed

Being George Washington. It too is captivating and hard to put down.

Too many great ones to pick, truely.

Maybe, if the setting is on vacation with no interuptions.

Can't wait for the movie!

O'Reilly's narration was spot on

The detail on the assassination is far beyond anything I've ever read about it.

no

more than you ever wanted to know

This is a wonderful performance and also provided a lot of insight into this event in history. Although I have read a lot about Lincoln, this included many events and facts I hadn't heard before.

Very well written (at least for an audio listen), it really kept my attention. I will listen to it again.

Thank you Mr. O'Reilly, as usual your insite was most enlighting. This is definately one of the best books that I have had the good fortuine to listen to. I enjoyed your naration and learned many things that were not taught in school many years ago.
It would have been nice to have the opportunity to know how America would have faired had this fanatical assination not been successful.

This book gives perspective to the tremendous amount of change that has occurred in American History. Lincoln was the ultimate representation of
