I agree with Dave. As an introduction to the saga of Lincoln's assassination, I have no reservations about recommending Manhunt, and that is what Jim intended. I think there are better and more detailed histories (thank you, Ed Steers!), but Jim's book reads like a novel and is better than most, and historically accurate. I did not know Jim well, but he was a friend. RIP, Jim.
