Description: "When it comes to the Lincoln assassination conspiracy, John Surratt has always been relegated to a few paragraphs, but his saga is, in many respects, the most interesting part of the story. In The Last Lincoln Conspirator Andrew Jampoler does an admirable job illuminating Surratt's life as an undercover agent; his flight halfway around the world; and his capture, escape, and subsequent recapture.
