Lord.... another book on Lincoln... just what we need.  I have read three books in the last couple of years on the man.  Vidal's "Lincoln" which was a novel, "Dark Union" and "Murdering Mr. Lincoln".... and out of these three, Vidal's was more entertaining even tho' it was a fictional account of the man.  Look, it has been almost 150 years since the killing of Lincoln, a man who caused 600,000 plus americans to die in a War that could have been won before it started if Lincoln used his head.  A war where I lost two relatives, who were barely out of their teens.  Now we have Mr. Entertainer Bill O'Reilly who thinks he can right the reason of Lincoln's assassination?  Give me a break!  Here he co-authors with Martin Dugard, who with James Patterson TRIED to write a historial non-fiction account of "The Murder Of King Tut" which turned out to be awful and mostly fiction.  Sooo... who's the biggest PinHeads here?  O'Reilly/Dugard or Lincoln.... or both?
