Seemingly, this absolves us of having to wonder where the American experiment might have gone wrong. \u003cp\u003e John Wilkes Booth has been no exception to this rule. But was he?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In a new, provocative study comprising three essays, historian William L. Richter delves into the psyche of Booth and finds him far from insane. Beginning with a modern, less adulating interpretation of President Abraham Lincoln, Richter is the first scholar to examine Booth's few known, often unfinished speeches and essays to draw a realistic mind-picture of the man who intensely believed in common American political theories of his day, and acted violently to carry them out during the time of America's greatest war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William L.
