American Brutus: John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies by Michael Kauffman is an excellent book to read for understanding of Booth and his motives for killing President Lincoln. Mr. Kauffman leads the very popular Booth escape route tour and the depth of his knowledge about the subject is unsurpassed. I had the pleasure of going on that tour a few years ago. I understand The History Channel will present a program on Booth's escape on Dec 23 and Mr. Kauffman will be featured, along with Doris Kerns Goodwin.
