Manhunt: The 12 Day Chase For Abraham Lincoln's Killer
The perfect book to follow up Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. It pretty much picks up on the story.The book almost plays out like a fictionalized story, but as the author says at the beginning of book: What happened in Washington D.C., in the spring of 1865, and in the swamps and rivers, and the forests and fields, of Maryland and Virginia during the next twelve days, is far too incredible to have ever been made up.
However, due to many documentaries and other readings, I believe some of the facts here to be a bit embellished. Not false, just glamorized. They do serve their purpose, though.
