The Lincoln Conspiracy
by David Balsiger and Charles E. Sellier, Jr.
Schick Sunn Non-Fiction, 1977
Movie Tie-In to the 1977 film directed by James L. Conway
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?
