Lincoln's Lie

About Lincoln's Lie

"Elizabeth Mitchell’s excellent Lincoln’s Lie is a wild ride into one of the strangest episodes of the Civil War era. Mitchell is a gifted storyteller, and this book about greedy profiteers is loaded with narrative horsepower. I was stunned by the revelations. Highly recommended!.” —Douglas Brinkley, author of American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race
