This book is specific, precise, and easy to follow. It gives dates to-the-day more often than not, making it an excellent reference for any secondary work, such as timelines, or cross-reference with other historical documents. Its also a very personal account of the era, and gives the reader a view of America through the eyes of Booth and Lincoln both. This deep, personal style creates a bridge between the didactic and the exciting. It brings history alive.
