Fascinating! Thoroughly enjoyed.

This is one of the most interesting and entertaining books I have read in some time. The author makes you feel like you are present in the action and keeps several different elements moving at once which kept me drawn in. I learned a lot about this historical event. Excellent read.

Very well written and interesting to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned a lot from this event.

Cannot go wrong with this, or any other of Mr. Swanson’s Books

One of my favorite books of all time. This book takes you back to a time that is so unforgettable that you can't believe happen. James L. Swanson take you there and you don't know how thus happens. Wonderful book

I couldn't put the book down. I never new the real circumstances behind the plot.

In Manhunt author James L. Swanson has created a gripping account of the plot to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln and the assassin's activities following the crime. Mr. Swanson's story is largely dialog-driven, using words taken from first-person accounts and courtroom testimony. This technique brings the reader right into the action in a most compelling way. The plight of John Wilkes Booth as he tries to evade capture is revealed as never before. You may find, as did I, unanticipated moments when you actually feel some pity for the injured, starving, muddied murderer on the run. If you think you have read all there is to know about the Lincoln assassination I suggest you read James Swanson's vivid page-turner, Manhunt.
