Their histology is history as narrative, High story, more specifically as the dust cover points out history as thriller. Thrillers rarely have footnotes or reveal all the facts. I too liked the depiction of Sailor’s Creek. I listened to the book.The short chapters with intriguing endings made it a good listen for a long ride.
I too enjoyed listening to Bill O'Reilly read the original book to me during a long car ride. I am sure to enjoy the NatGeo docudrama based on the book as well. If it is as entertaining as the book it will surely bring along a lot more interest in Lincoln and the story of his assassination.
