For years I resisted buying these books because of my dislike for Bill O'Reilly who always impressed me as a pompous, arrogant jerk. But then I was at the hair salon and there was a book exchange shelf there and I started looking for something to read to pass the time. As usual, all the books were romance novels (not a fan) except for Killing the Rising Sun which I started reading and got drawn into- I took it home and finished it in a day or two. I enjoyed it enough so that I then ordered and read Killing Lincoln.
These books are written in a way that makes the people and places come alive and don't become bogged down with too much dry data, facts and figures, etc. Of course, Bill O'Reilly doesn't do the actual writing himself since all these Killing books have another author listed in small print. In fact it looks like some of the newer ones have dropped the pretense of O'Reilly being one of the actual authors; although the books are still marketed with his name featured prominently on the cover they no longer say "by Bill O'Reilly" (see the Legends and Lies books). No matter- the two of these history books I have read are interesting and are quick reads. I am now reading a Bruce Catton civil war book now so that I can learn more about the war itself. I see that some of the one star reviews for the O'Reilly books complain about the inaccuracies and fictionalizing. I'm sure that's true- I'm no expert but when I went to look up more online about some of the conspirators in Lincoln's assasination, I noticed that the book had the pictures of Samuel Arnold and Michael O'Laughlen mistakenly labeled with each other's names. If this is one little mistake that I noticed, I'm sure there are others. But the bottom line is that Killing Lincoln is not a bad read and has sparked my interest in further reading about the Civil War.

Killing Lincoln The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever Bill O'Reilly Killing Series Bill O'Reilly Martin Dugard 8601401285526 Books Reviews

I've read a couple other of the Bill O'Reilly 'Killing so and so' books. I find them all pretty interesting, and enlightening on topics that I otherwise wouldn't know much about .

However, you must keep a grain of salt in mind while reading any of these books. They tend to jump to conclusions, some far-fectched, and you tend to feel a little rushed through the details. This, and all the other "Killing" books are great starter books into the topics, but anyone who is serious about understanding the history of Lincoln and his assassination will know to read elsewhere into more substantiated books.
Overall, I did enjoy this book. The historical research is very impressive, especially the day to day accounts of the events. Also, I really enjoyed how the authors did mention some possibilities of conspiracy because we all know that the theories are out there and it's nice to see where they could possibly originate from. However, I did not see what the point was in spending basically the whole first third of the book detailing battles at the end of the war. I see that they were trying to set it up for showing us how a nation was torn apart and Lincoln was under such stress and so on, but it went on a little too long for my tastes. On the other hand, I also felt that from Lincoln's shooting to the end of the book was a little rushed, maybe due to the first half at least, being pretty slow in my opinion. Overall, I would recommend it to someone interested in history, though probably not to a generic reader. I think a lot of this books claim to fame is it's author and publicity. I enjoyed this book on the whole, but was honestly just expecting a little more page-turning excitement.
Taut. Woven carefully with the quilt patches making an enchanting cover. We all know how it ends. It is how it was layed out and sewn together that producted the sad, tale of a life lost too soon. What evil lurks in the minds of men (and Mary Surratt)? I am satisfied to say this is a historical nonfiction thriller. It is not the scholarly research that produced Team of Rivals, etc.

This book becomes a roller coaster after Lincoln's death in the chase that ensued to capture John Wilkes Booth and his band of merrymen. Then O'Reilly goes on to wrap up each participant and major player with epilogues to their lives. If interested in Lincoln I'd suggest pairing this with any of the other books that distinguish the life of this President.

Well Bill does it again! Although I'm reading his books out of order, I still have to say that the writing style is great and I love the way he gives the facts. No games, just the facts mam... I always liked him as a news commentator, who knew he possessed this wonderful trait. I've read 4 of his books so far and I have to say that I was really surprised, because I liked KILLING PATTON, then REAGAN the best. I felt I really walked away with some invaluable information. On to KILLING THE RISING SUN! 🏯😉
In Killing Lincoln, the authors have assembled a jigsaw puzzle of historical pieces into a picture of human destiny fulfilled. That picture conveys the sense that this man whose life was cut short by a bullet would have put his imprimatur on the assassination if it meant sealing the unification of his country. This powerful message is subtly delivered by authors who possess a knack for infusing storytelling vitality into their narrative. Their subject matter expertise displays itself through a perceptive insight that uses attention to individual detail coupled with an astute recognition of coincidence. Fascinating historical testimonies and anecdotes are cleverly recounted and weaved together with an appreciative gusto that permeates the book. Simply put it is an enthralling account of historical data that makes one think.

I recommend this book to all those who would like to be a 'fly on the wall' at some of Lincoln's most intimate moments and feel that they are present among the 'first responders' to history's signature moments. Most of all I would recommend this book to the introspective reader who will enjoy seeing the fabric of human destiny emerge before their mind's eye of cognition.
