Publisher's Summary:
In The Assassins Accomplice, historian Kate Clifford Larson tells the gripping story of Mary Surratt, a little-known conspirator in the plot to kill Abraham Lincoln, and the first woman ever to be executed by the federal government. A Confederate sympathizer, Surratt ran the boarding house where the conspirators met to plan Lincolns assassination. Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, The Assassins Accomplice tells the intricate story of the Lincoln conspiracy through the eyes of its only female participant, offering a fresh perspective on Americas most famous murder.
Critic Reviews:
A masterful recounting of the surprisingly wide and intricate conspiracy of Southern sympathizers who formed the murder plot, focusing on perhaps the most controversial figure in the story. (Minneapolis Star-Tribune)
"Larson captures brilliantly the atmosphere of Mary Surratts trial in a crowded court room.... Her description of the drama of Marys last hours, when she was broken by a death sentence that neither she nor her lawyers had believed possible, makes compelling reading. (Spectator, UK)
[A] spirited narrative... the tale itself could not be better told, nor could the cast of characters be brought more to life. (Publishers Weekly)
