Description

The Real Story Behind the Assassination of President Lincoln. In 1865, the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln shocked the nation. But what really happened behind the scenes? Steven Hager's book reveals the truth about the conspiracy that led to Lincoln's death. The author examines the military tribunal that tried four men accused of involvement in the plot, and exposes the flaws in their investigation. The story is one of deception and corruption, with key witnesses revealed to be perjurers or liars. A lone congressman, Andrew Rogers, dared to challenge the government's narrative, subjecting the witnesses to rigorous cross-examination. As the truth began to unravel, it became clear that the real conspirators were still at large. This book is a gripping and thought-provoking account of one of America's most infamous events, and a testament to the power of courage and determination in the face of corruption and deceit.
