The Assassin's Accomplice (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I found this book to be an excellent depiction of the life of Mary Surratt as a coconspirator in the assassination of President Lincoln. The books investigates the background information surrounding the events leading to the trial and conviction of Mrs. Surratt. Further the author provides depth to the relationships surrounding Mrs. Surratt. It is a well written and compelling account that will keep the reader interested from beginning to end. Ms. Larson's style belies my long held view that historical accounts can either be good history or good writing; Ms. Larson has accomplished both! The author did a great deal of research in writing this book. However, her research led her to a different conclusion than her premise was at the beginning. I found the reading difficult and not very enjoyable. I found it to be written from a Northern point of view. I would be very careful if I recommended it to anyone. It is supposed to be a historical truthful telling of Mary Surratt’s story. As with anything historical, check the sources and make your own opinion.
