| Summary |
Written at the end of the Lincoln bicentennial year, and the onset of the Civil War sesquicentennial, this book offers studies and arguments about the assassination, its aftermath, the extraordinary public reaction (which was more complex than has been previously believed), and the iconography that Lincoln's murder and deification inspired. |
