New facts reveal the shocking step-by-step conspiracy against America's most loved president. Who was involved? On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated while attending a play at Ford's Theatre. Historical accounts tell us the murder was committed by a crazed actor named John Wilkes Booth, and no one else. Now, after more than a century, startling new answers are uncovered for such questions as: Why did the President's guard leave his post at Ford's Theatre? Why did the Washington telegraph system mysteriously fail moments after the fatal shot was fired? Why were road blocks put up on every exit leaving Washington except on the killer's escape route? Why did a number of high government officials turn down President Lincoln's personal request to meet him at Ford's Theatre? - Back cover.
The kidnap plot. March 16, 1865. On a deserted stretch of road, six men waited for the arrival of President Lincoln's carriage. Their objective: to kidnap the President. Their leader: John Wilkes Booth. And so began weeks of terror as Booth and his companions desperately tried to abduct the President. They would fail on six separate occasions. Then mysteriously on the night of April 14, Booth would succeed -- but with a new plan! He would murder Abraham Lincoln. Did Booth, the President's assassin, act alone or was he a pawn of higher-ups? Was the man shot at Garrett's farm and identified as John Wilkes Booth actually Booth or a substitute? Why was the existence of Booth's diary hidden until long after the famous 1865 conspiracy trial, and when revealed, why had 18 pages been cut? Who removed those 18 pages, and when? A surprising collection of newly discovered, unpublished, historical documents answers these and many more questions, solving the most famous political assassination mystery in American history. - Flyleaf.
