I found this analysis by John C. Fazio to be exceedingly well written, well researched and totally convincing. Clearly one of the best books ever written about the power structure behind the Southern leadership’s design and execution of the assassination of President Lincoln.
A must read for anyone harboring doubts about the existence of this conspiracy.
