What the public has known about assassination of Abraham Lincoln for nearly 150 years isn't history, but fiction, and an unsolved crime. In 1977, a document was discovered which revealed that no fewer than six Union spies had infiltrated associates of John Wilkes Booth months prior to his assassination of Abraham Lincoln. History writers since 1977 have failed to include the names, descriptions and roles of these secret agents, presumably because this information didn't seem to fit the prevailing understanding of the assassination. This document was created by the War Department in 1865, but was hidden from the conspirators' trial and the public, and was believed to be destroyed. It was just one of many pieces of evidence deliberately withheld to ensure Lincoln's assassination would appear to be the work of Confederate agents. To the contrary and before two years had passed, every alleged Confederate mastermind behind Booth (Davis, Johnson, Surratt) had been found by courts and Congress to have played no role in the deed. Yet the Confederate conspiracy theory prevailed. In this most important book, Don Thomas explodes the numerous myths that have been circulated since 1865, and concretely identifies the faction of Union government officials who engineered Lincoln's death and its cover-up. It can be known, for the first time, clearly, even in their own words, what made these men believe Abraham Lincoln had to die. This astonishing book reveals:
<ul>
<li>The architects of Lincoln's assassination and their political motives</li> <li>How the Civil War was extended nearly a year in order to achieve a political goal</li> <li>Multiple Union agents within Booth's gang, including their names, descriptions and roles</li> <li>How the crime was covered up and the guilty parties protected</li> <li>Damning evidence other historians have overlooked or chosen to ignore.</li> </ul>

The Reason Lincoln Had to Die: Second Edition

THE REASON BOOTH HAD TO DIE John Wilkes Booth and Lewis Powell were the most hunted fugitives in United States History. Yet, United States history has never found the motive or men behind the Lincoln conspiracy. Until now! This first ever documented narrative of the Lincoln Conspiracy investigation reveals: • Why it was crucial to keep John Wilkes Booth from going to trial. • Why the investigation and trial to find Booth’s accomplices ended without uncovering the conspiracy. • Why the Lincoln conspiracy is still considered an unsolved mystery, even after the FBI uncovered evidence that proved who Lincoln’s conspirators were. In 1977 the FBI Forensic Department found definitive evidence that proved the plot to kill a United States President and his Secretary of State was perpetrated by men within the President’s own party. Today, those FBI lab results are easily accessible, public information. Only by referencing this book will our nation’s most infamous murder mystery be revealed, ending the Lincoln conspiracy cover-up forever.
