Using previously hidden documents, over 5,000 pages in all, drawing from letters, diaries, previously hidden official hearings, railway timetables and obscure shipping manifests, he has woven a spellbinding account of high level intrigue. He proves conclusively that very high level figures, including the richest banker in America, were involved in the murder plot, of which John Wilkes Booth was merely the puppet~like instrument. Higham shows for the first time that Lincoln unwittingly sealed his own doom. By allowing trading with the South in contradiction of his own laws, he enriched a circle of powerful people who, once he had outlived his usefulness and handed over the arrangements to others, marked him very quickly for assassination. Booth himself was a trader with the enemy, able to mark out his escape route after the murder because he used that same route under presidential license to sell medications. Most of all, the book solves the greatest of historical mysteries: the disputed involvement of the accused co~conspirator John Surratt, whose mother was hanged for the crime. In a high~wire feat of detection, Higham shows how this daredevil youth managed seemingly to be in two places at once, thus getting away literally with murder, only to flee in an astonishing real life action adventure from England to Italy to Egypt, with the police snapping at his heels.…
