"This classic of popular history vividly dramatizes a pivotal moment in the life of our country . . . a happy blend of good scholarship and good storytelling." —AudioFile The Day Lincoln Was Shot is a gripping, hour-by-hour account of April fourteen, 1865: the day President Abraham Lincoln was tragically assassinated. It chronicles the movements of Lincoln and his assassin John Wilkes Booth during every movement of that fateful day. Author and journalist Jim Bishop has fashioned an unforgettable tale of tragedy, more gripping than fiction, more alive than any newspaper account.First published in 1955, The Day Lincoln Was Shot was a huge bestseller, and in 1998 it was made into a TNT movie, with Rob Morrow as Booth.

A new kind of Lincoln book." —The New York Times "Startling, tabloid immediacy . . . police-blotter facts." —Time "A great news story brilliantly recaptured." —New York Herald Tribune "Reads like a novel—holds you in suspense like a detective story!" —Pittsburgh Press "History with the impact of a Page One news story." —Syracuse Herald American "Terror and suspense." —Cleveland News
