Until April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous actors of his time. That night, Booth became one of history's most infamous assassins when he assassinated President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC. By the 1860s, Booth was a well-known actor, but he was also a confederate sympathizer who dabbled in espionage. He and his group of conspirators plotted to kill Lincoln and other top officials in a bid to decapitate the federal government and help the South.

Has Decisive Moments in History: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the Manhunt for John Wilkes Booth turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Have you listened to any of Neal Arango’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I do not recall ever hearing him before. I do not think I would listen to another book that he narrates.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It seemed historically accurate, and gave several new historical insights I had not heard before.
Any additional comments?
How do you pronounce Appomattox? In my entire life, including being born in Virginia, having parents and relatives from the south and watched and listened to many forms of media in which I have heard the pronunciation of the word "Appomattox", I have never heard it pronounced as A-pom-a-tocks. Each time I heard it it made me cringe.
