Product Description

 
The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history, the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin led Union cavalry and detectives on a wild 12-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror and sadness.

At the very center of this story is John Wilkes Booth, America's notorious villain. A Confederate sympathizer and a member of a celebrated acting family, Booth threw away his fame and wealth for a chance to avenge the South's defeat. For almost two weeks, he confounded the manhunters, slipping away from their every move and denying them the justice they sought.

Based on rare archival materials, obscure trial transcripts, and Lincoln's own blood relics, Manhunt is a fully documented work, but it is also a fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal. A gripping hour-by-ho

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: I thought Swanson's - Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer a must read book to anyone interested in history and it's also a thrilling and insightful read otherwise.
Review: I just finished James L. Swanson's New York Times Best Seller book Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer. It was a fascinating read!!
