Definitive Study
"Blood on the Moon: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln" is the product of extensive research by Dr. Edward Steers Jr. into the assassination. Steers, a research scientist at the National Institute of Health, used his formal scientific training to help him evaluate the three major published records of the assassination investigation and trial. He then used the results to establish the merits of past scholarship, and arrive at the most plausible scenario for the assassination. Dr. Steers sought to firmly establish not only who perpetrated the assassination, but also why it was perpetrated, and who was responsible. He sticks to the facts, and avoids any speculation. The result is an exceptional, and eminently readable account.
