From 14th to 26th of April 1865, the search for Abraham Lincoln's assassin mesmerized a nation already reeling from the horrors of the newly ended Civil War. Manhunt vividly re-creates Booth's murder of Lincoln, his dramatic escape from the Ford theatre in Washington- and the intensive 12 day hunt to catch him and his accomplices. At the centre of the story is the ultimate anti-hero: John Wilkes Booth. A handsome stage actor, Booth was as famous in his day as any Hollywood star today, but threw away his fame, wealth and promise for an assassin's immortality. Here is a riveting hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunters and the hunted, as Booth led the army on a wild chase across the swamps of Maryland and into the forests of Virginia. Swanson shows how Booth, with a mixture of cunning, luck and help from sympathizers, was able to evade capture time and again; and why he refused to be taken alive when at last he was cornered by the US cavalry.
